Pistol Pairing

[juice_1080]

I was just wondering if anybody could tell me if it would be smart to put these fish in a 5 Gallon Pico Tank? I am looking at doing a Pistol/Goby Tank with my 5g and I didn't know if these two would be suitable. Also I am trying to figure out what a general price range would be for the pair.
Stonogobiops yasha - Yasha Hase Shrimp Goby
Alpheus randalli - Randalli Pistol Shrimp

Well my Yashia Goby cost 38, And the pistol shrimp i think was 16. How ya like em ? I love em. And i think it would be great to have em in a Pico, I'm actually thinking about getting a pico just to put a shrimp goby pair into. MY Orchid Dottyback harrasses my goby like crazy so i only can see it at night and then it has a attitude and doesnt want to be bothered so i never see him cuz they stay under the rock all day long. But here is a photo.

Thanks, How hard was it to get them to pair up? Did you buy them as a pair or seperately?
Hopefully I can find as good of a deal as you. I was expecting it to be around $100 for the combo. I know my LFS charges $50 for the pair they have there and $20 for each seperately. They aren't the ones I am looking for though.

Oh they found each other pretty much the next day. They were kinda each under a rock next to each other but the goby did something to the shrimp, The shrimp was up in a hole in a LR and the goby had a spot under another rock and it kept seeing the shrimp and then it like kept kinda going near it until the shrimp felt him and then they been paired up ever since. Its pretty cool actually. All though dont have any coral frags near their burrow or they will be buried. I have to unbury my zoanthid frags every day almost cuz they bury it in sand. LOL.

I will make sure to keep corals away from them then. Thanks for the help. I am really excited to get them now.
