Fire Shrimp + Pistol Shrimp?

[cal559]

Can pistol shrimp be in the same tank as 2 fire shrimp?
It's a 34 gallon.

I'm not sure about 2 Fire shrimp as they are best kept alone (single Fire shrimp) in a tank. I have a Fire, Skunk, Peppermint, Sexy and Pistol shrimp in my RSM nano.

don't get a caribbean pistol and you'll be ok...
a candy stripe pistol would be fine, but they aren't all that fun unless you have a shrimp goby to go with it.
I hope you don't have a puffer in with those fire shrimp lol...

 

[cal559]

No puffer...lol

Do pistol shrimp make really loud noises?

 

[subielover]

Depends on what you consider really loud

 

[cal559]

Loud as too it being annoying or waking you up at night...

Loud enough to make you wonder if your tank just cracked.

symbiotic pistols don't really pop too much unless they're stressed. Caribbeans on the other hand are not symbiotic and will use that pop to kill stuff and eat it.
