Watchman and Pistol

[dallassvt]

I recently (about a week) added a Yellow Watchman and a Orange Pistol Shrimp to my tank and they have not met up!! What can I do to encourage the pairing? they were both acclimated and added on the same day. I see the Watchman all the time but have yet to hear or see the Pistol shrimp.
Any Ideas??

Thanks,
Dallas

Bump for ya! I got my yellow watchman and my tiger pistol as a pair, but the pistol ran into the rocks and the watchman just sits on top of one of my powerheads.

Im not too sure if the yellow watchman goby is a shrimp goby. I have not looked this up in a while, nor do I have one, but just off the top of my head I cant really remember.

i have a randalls goby and a tiger shrimp...i added them at the same time but as soon as i was putting them into the tank the shrimp just shot out like a rocket into the rocks..they have not yet met up...i do see the tiger shrimp digging under one of my rocks and i also hear the loud snap from time to time...that's the only way i know its still alive...as for the randalls goby..hes doing fine in another cave....they been in my tank for 1 month...

Atleast youve seen your pistol, lol. Mine ran into the rocks and havent seen or heard him since.

yeah the only way to know its still alive is to look for a pile of sand next to a rock that they dig out....they are very shy...
