New Pom Pom Crab!

[fretfreak13]

Wish I can give you guys pictures, but he's much too small. He'll be making his home in my five gallon as soon as it's done cycling and what not, but right now he's in the sump for my 29 gallon. I was wondering how big these guys get? I know not huge, but would he be safe in a tank with a red-banded pistol shrimp? That was my inital plan for the five gallon, to have a pistol and yasha goby pair, but I love my little crab way too much to risk his life if anyone thinks it'll be a problem. He's much to pretty to stay in my sump forever, so if it's a problem I'll make it a single jawfish tank.
Thanks ahead of time.

I think putting in with a pistol is a risk. I have ssen a video recently of a pistol taking out a skunk cleaner shrimp.

That documentary on youtube? I think everyones seen that. lol That's a pretty big pistol though, the one that I was planning on geting doesn't get any larger than half an inch I belive.

Well like I said I believe it is a risk but you gotta decide if you want to take it or not. I have done risky things in my tank, some worked out okay some did not. Just gotta decide on what you level of "can I stand it if it doesn't work?" is.

Yeah I guess. I hate the indecisive part of this hobby. *sigh*
