The shrimp don't have very good eye site, so the goby helps protect them in exchange for a hole to live in. The goby will perch on the outside of the cave, keeping watch. If he senses trouble, he will signal the shrimp by waving his fins.) I could watch them for hours!
Agreed. Keep the shrimp! He's an awesome (and free) addition to your tank. Don't they cost like $30 normally anyway?
