shrimp compatability

[ph1sh99]

hi,
i have a 3 gallon picotope tank. current stock:
3 sexy shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp
1 hi fin goby
5 hermit crabs
2 Nassarius Snails
1 astrea Snail
bunch of stomellas
ton of amphipods
2 small starfish
1 emerald crab
i would like to add a randalls shrimp so it can pair with my goby. are these shrimp compatible with the shrimp i currently have? also, can i add 2 small clown gobies or is that too much? can i add a pom pom crab too?

I would not recommend one. Pistol shrimp can be aggressive and in a tank that small it would just be a matter of time before other inverts start to vanish.

Tiger and Candy Pistols should be ok. I have 3 Tigers and 1 Candy pistol in my reef tank.. and they cause no trouble with my hermits and cleaners/peppermints. The ones to watch out for are Bullseye and Carribean Pistols. These pistols do rarely host gobies and rarely create burrows. instead they live in rocks and hunt at night.. killing everything they can..
Go with Tigers and Candys.. good.. Carribean/Bullseye bad..
