ANy experiance with this thing

Ok im thinking of getting me a pistol shrimp with a Diamond Goby. I have a 55 gallon tank with a sump and alot of flow. I was wondering what the requirements for these two creatures to be together. For ex: sand bed hight, how much rock work #'s and other specifications, please any help is awsome thank you

pretty easy requirements, but go with a shrimp goby instead of the diamond... shrimp gobies dont need any specific height SB. Just a regular tank..
The diamond will make a mess outta the sandbed

Ok thank you for the recommendation really appreciate it but what about the pistol what would they need?

 

[theappe3]

nothing... as they are blind.. they will feed with the goby.

Im just wondering about the sand depth cause I saw videos that they dig burrows and all I have is an 1" sand bed but if I get one I would add about 2" if necessary

 

[theappe3]

I think you would be fine.. They will rearrange the sand to make the burrow bigger or smaller...

Oh thats awsome but is there like a chance it might break the glass or do people push that precaution to much

I dont think you need to worry about breaking the glass... I dont think they are that powerful as a mantis..
