QT'ing a Randalls shrimp and shrimp goby

[honu808]

I want these two to be my next purchase. Are there any special requirements for these two during qt?

Just an established qt for the shrimp. Inverts are more intolerant of poor water quality

Hi,

Some, actually only a very few, quarantine inverts or corals. I personally never have.

They are so sensitive, that I usually made sure I acclimated them very slow and released them into the display to not be pestered anymore. You can actually kill a shrimp with shock chasing it around to catch it, and in shallow tanks they often crawl out and kill themselves. JMO

Hi Flower.

Would it create a problem to separate them if they already paired up or would they just pair up again?

I know they tend to pair up easy so that should not be an issue.
Thanks everyone for your input.
