    Fish die, other stuff doesn't.

    ...false perc. The two did OK for a week and then both died the same day. I did a water change, waited a week, and then bought a tiger pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby pair from another LFS than the first time. The shrimp is great - the goby died in 36 hours. I waited about two weeks...

    Yellow Watchman Goby/ Pistol Shrimp

    If it's a crap shoot then I just hit the jackpot! I bought a "paired" tiger pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby a few weeks ago and the goby died within 36 hours. (I got store credit for him but wasn't sure I wanted to get another one from the same place). I saw a blue-spotted yellow...

    Pistol Shrimp Snapping

    Hi Guys, and thanks for the replies. I'm sitting on the couch right now in the room with the tank and I've heard him snap a few times in the past few minutes. I wondered if that meant he were stressed/scared by something or somehow unhappy but if it's normal behavior I'll not change anything...

    Pistol Shrimp Snapping

    I love pistol shrimp, especially the Tiger pistols. They are great for keeping the sand healthy and yes, they do occasionally snap, nothing to worry about. They usually do not bother other fish. Hope you get a yellow goby or other shrimp goby for it to house together. Here is the trio I used to...

    Help me plan my Christmas tank, please?

    ...water with me to the store and it will never have to dry out. I know real well what mantis sound like.... I currently have a tiger pistol shrimp in my 12 gallon and I sometimes hear him snapping at night. And regarding the sand, I have lots left from the first batch I bought so I'll use...

    Pistol Shrimp Snapping

    I got a tiger pistol shrimp 2-3 weeks ago and he's a very busy little fella..... reminds me of a small bulldozer! I don't see him very much but I see his handiwork often. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that he's always moving sand around? On the one hand he's keeping it clean and sifted...

    High PH - why?

    ...think about adding a fish or SOMETHING to my tank soon. It's been up and running about 9 weeks now and all that's in there is a tiger pistol shrimp, a few blue-legged crabs, a few snails, and a feather duster. (and live rock and live sand, of course) Ammonia is zero. Nitrite is probably...

    Cyclopeeze?

    ...I have a 12 gallon Eclipse with 1 lbs. of live rock, some base rock and an inch of live sand. The only livestock in there is a tiger pistol shrimp, a few snails, a few hermits, and a feather duster. When I bought the feather duster I asked the guy at the LFS what I should feed it and he...

    Will I ever see my goby and pistol shrimp?

    I picked up my paired tiger pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby yesterday and after acclimating them I placed them in the tank. Of course they automatically went to the nearest hiding spots which I expected but this morning when I woke up and peeked I see that the shrimp is very busy digging...

    Who chooses the cave - shrimp or goby?

    I just got a bonded pair of tiger pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby and after acclimating them have placed them in the tank. I had a perfect cave that I was hoping they'd move into -- one which I thought they might enjoy yet still visible enough to me that I might get to enjoy them once in...

    Flatworm plague.

    ...as suggested (place tube end into fine mesh bag and filter it into sump) and reduce nutrients and if possible (have a DSB) get a Tiger pistol shrimp. It will take time, but you won't have to resort to chemical means. Also 6 lined wrasse will eat them if you do not feed it. May not be...
