    How and why? (pistols & gobies)

    I'm just amazed and awestruck at the relationship between pistol shrimp and gobies. I bought a tiger pistol shrimp a few months ago with a yellow watchman. Unfortunately the watchman died so I bought a replacement. The two paired up, and unfortunately this watchman met an unfortunate early...

    Shrimp, Pistol Shrimp. Could be a Tiger Pistol Shrimp but it looks more like a Randall's Pistol.

    What kind of goby is this?

    So a yellow goby doesn't have to be yellow? Also, I have a tiger pistol shrimp in another tank than the one I put the goby in. Would it benefit one or both of them to be together or do they really care less about having a "partner"? I put this goby in what will soon be my seahorse tank ...

    Goby and Pistol Shrimp

    Hiya, I got a tiger pistol shrimp and his partner a barber goby a week ago. The shrimp went right to work building a new home within seconds of putting him on a pile of rubble. The barber paired up with him within an hour. I went to bed that night and the silly critter had tunneled under my...

    agh red slime

    I get problems with cyano now and then. Mostly thanks to my tiger pistol shrimp. He is quite the builder and tends to mound huge piles of sand. Then a week later he moves it and poof! Cyano battle here we come. I usually just do a 20% water change, run some carbon and phos ban for a few days. Do...

    ...GoodLuck JBS Thanks, King. If I have to gut this tank and start over from scratch, do you have the room or desire to babysit a tiger pistol shrimp? OK, I just thought of something too basic and simple to be the problem but I have to ask anyway...... could the fish be dying from lack of...

    Problems with an Eclipse 12?

    ...and start all over -- is there anything I can put in there to KILL whatever is killing my fish? I can ask my LFS to hold my tiger pistol shrimp for me while I do it but I really didn't want to have to recycle all over again. Then again, if I "kill" stuff in there then I will kill my live...
