    Compatibility?

    I also have a mated pair of tiger pistol shrimp that were in my 3 gallon pico. After my pair of caribean pistols killed my Bicolor Blenny it was the last straw. I switched the pairs and now have my tigers in my main tank and my caribs are by them selves in my 3 gallon. If they are tiger pistols...

    Shrimp compatibility

    More than that it depends on what type of pistol shrimp you are wanting. A caribbean will likely eat the cleaner as they are a natural prey of the caribbean. A tiger on the other hand should be okay provided the tank is large enough and they are both well-fed. I personally would get a cleaner...

    Pistol Shrimp to go with my Goby

    Dunno. I had a tiger pistol shrimp in my biocube and every goby I put in there ended up dying within a few weeks. Water parameters were always fine - the shrimp and snails were healthy and thriving. Every fish I put in that tank died so when I tore it down I put the tiger in my seahorse tank...

    So, what's the deal with Pistol Shrimp??

    I got a small Tiger Pistol today, along with an Orange spotted goby in hopes they would pair up, but the shrimp took off into my rock. Probably won't see it ever again!!

    Pistol Shrimp to go with my Goby

    I think he ment the carribean. Many people have a shrimp goby pistol shrimp combo here. The carribean arent a great choice to match up with a goby. The tiger is a great choice.

    Carribean Pistol Shrimp!

    I had a tiger pistol shrimp and as cool as he was (digging and pairing up with certain fish) I finally brought him back to the petstore - I suspect he was killing some of my livestock. I kept having "mysterious" deaths in that tank that I couldn't attribute to anything else and the last death...
