Pistol Shrimp OK with Fire/Cleaner shrimp?

[miaheatlvr]

Will a pistol shrimp get along with my fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp? IM not sure but I think ive seen somewhere where the pistols eat the cleaners, ALSO will they pair up with a diamond goby? Thanks

Nobody?

How big of a tank? 'Room to move' is an important consideration.

yup, pistols eat other shrimp, but not usually in aquaiums. i don't think they will pair up, but i may be mistaken.

I have never heard of pistols eating shrimp other then that stupid video that was going around from a tv show.
I have a tiger pistol and its NEVER bothered my Harliquen or skunk cleaner shrimp.

well its said they do it in the wild, but not in an aquarium. so the answer here is, it will be fine.

I have 2 pistols in a tank and they don't bother anyone. the reason my cleaner shrimp died is fish. See R.I.P Cleaner Shrimp (Paul)[https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/f/] you just need "breathing room" for the shrimps.
