Multiple Shrimp Gobies One System?

[Tnops]

Can I keep a pair or multiple shrimp gobies to 1 pistol shrimp in a system? Will they share the single pistol shrimp or will they fight for it? For example, I want to keep a yellow watchman with an orange striped goby with a tiger pistol shrimp.

they should be fine they might share or one might take over prob the watchman and the other goby will go on its own

In my tank I have two Randall's Prawn Gobies and two pistols. The two pistols hang around the same rocks but one Goby won't let the other on his side of the tank with the shrimp.

1 goby pairs with 1 shrimp. It is very risky to try and do more than that as the goby can get aggressive and attack the other, so it is a risky move to try.

In my 75 gallon I have a pair of aurora gobies, a yellow watchman goby, a firefish, a fourmanoiri tilefish, and a candy pistol shrimp all sharing the same burrow. The aurora gobies lived on opposite sides at first, but eventually paired up. One lived with the yellow watchman from the beginning (thought he died and suddenly 2 months later was sticking out of the same burrow).

In most cases it's best no to put 2 of any one fish enless a maited pair in a single tank

Schooling fish are the exception and only if kept in a large enoff group to form a school
