Pistol shrimp

Ricksreeefs · Apr 16, 2021

Good morning everyone! I have been looking for a pistol shrimp to pair with my yasha goby that’s about half the size of pinky. I have been trying to get a candy cane pistol but can’t seem to get my hands on one. Any other interesting pistol shrimp y’all recommend besides a tiger?
Thanks!

Red banded or randals ( aka candy cane)

Aw sorry just re- read and you already saying tried getting candy cane.
But red banded maybe worth looking to see what all that about

Pistol shrimps are seasonal where I’m from. And sometimes you get candy canes while sometimes its just the drab brown ones. I have two candy canes without their goby partners living in two separate tanks for ab 2 years. You’ll barely see them most of the time. Only their snapping or popping would let you know that they’re still there.
