fire shrimp and watchman

[ll206]

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone had a fireshrimp and a watchman goby. I've had them both for a few months now, and they seemed to have formed a special relationship. Not only do they share food, but they seem to fondle each other. Sounds weird, but you almost have to see it to believe it. Thanks everyone.

We have a watchman goby and a cleaner shrimp who seem to REALLY like each other too. I guess its kinda a normal thing. Ours also share a rock.

i had a blue spotted watchman goby eat my camel shrimp, does that count? still not sure if the shrimp was dead before he got eaten, or if the goby did the killing.

I don't know why they bond, but they do, I don't have a fire shrimp, so I don't know if they are hard to keep, I haven't heard this, but I'll let you know next time I go to my lfs and ask them. I'm glad the goby beat the camel shrimp, fish are more interesting to watch.....
