shimp and gobys

[juggalo124]

i have a 29 gallon tank with snails and hermits right now. when it comes time for the fish i want to get a goby that will sit in a hole with a shrimp. so i would like some names of shrimp and names of gobys that are compatable, and likely to room with one another. thanks in advance for the info
I've already looked through what this site has for sale but i'd like to hear some pairs other people have had.

Not just any goby will pair with a shrimp, only shrimp gobies will do that. Some that I know of are:
Watchman Goby (a few kinds of watchmens)
Hi Fin Red Banded Goby
Orange Spotted Goby
Steinitz Goby
Orange Stripe Prawn Goby
Pinkbar Goby
Diagonal Bar Prawn Goby
Tangaroa Goby
And my favorite, the Yasha Hase Goby.

i have a watchmen gobi with a pistol shrimp. They are always together and always fun to watch. Only draw back about the pistol shrimp is it will dig holes all over your tank and you wil find your self always having to fix things like your corals and live rock.
