Pistol shrimp and goby - which to add first?

[hllb]

I am thinking about putting a goby and pistol shrimp in my son’s new 10 gallon tank. I just set it up, so not yet, but when I do, should they be introduced at the same time? Fish first? Is the shrimp more sensitive so I should wait longer before putting him in? I currently have a cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp in my main tank but I’ve never had a pistol shrimp before.

put them in at the same time. acclimate them together in a small container so they will meet each other and become buddies.

I put mine in at the same time. It still took a couple days for them to meet and move in together

Cool thanks. How sensitive is the shrimp? Just wondering if I should wait a long time to put it in

I added my pistol after the second month. Had to wait for lfs to get them in or may have been sooner. Lost my watchman a few nights ago. Had a jumper. He was the fav in the tank. But even after a few months they never buddied up.

same time, wait till the the tank is a little older, make sure two inches of sand, make sure to acclimate both use drip acclamation separately, make sure all rocks are on the glass, don't use super fine sand and leave a few shells
