Define "best". I have a tiger with a pink barred goby in my 55. Hardly ever see them, just hear a popping every now and then.

I have no idea what is the best, but I've got 2:
- Tomiyama Shrimp Goby + Tiger Pistol in 75g reef
- Yashia Shrimp Goby + Tiger Pistol in 34g RSM nano
Both pairs are only out and about at feeding times

How deep a sand bed do you have on your rsm?

Not deep at all, about 1-1.5 inch and the pair is constantly moving sand around under a cave so they seem to have enough there to play with.

I personally like a yashia goby+tiger pistol like Spider. Oh and make sure you put the rock in before the sand.

+1 also if you can, let the shrimp get in first to start digging a cave. When I got my pair they came together. The shrimp started digging very soon after entering the tank and the Goby would just lay on the sand and stare at me. She didn't move until she heard the clicking sound from the shrimp and then she was off to the cave. Fun to watch!

psh... tiger pistols don't even match the color scheme of yashias...
candy stripes or nothin!!!
I'm itchin to get a dracula goby, but they're north of a bill so I dunno....
I may just grab another yashia or two and a candy stripe..
I think two yashias and a mated pair of candy stripes would be pretty cool.

I have a tiger and a randalli.... They are out ALL THE TIME. In fact they are havoc because I can't put anything near their area they dig constantly. I may have to rename my tiger shrimp to Bob the builder.

the last fish is not a prawn goby... the name is deceptive...
spikefin gobies do not pair with shrimp..
I dunno what the black with white stripes one is though.

Isn't it a Flaming Prawn Goby - Discordipinna griessingeri?
yeah its called a spikefin goby too... not one that pairs with a shrimp..
trust me I was gonna buy one... gave this LFS 2 weeks to pair one up with a candy stripe rofl... they sat on opposite ends of the tank no matter how much effort went into putting them together... tried it with several pistols... note that all these same pistols went on to be paired with gobies just not the spikefin.

what did you feed your yashia goby?
mysis, formula 1, anything really... BOTH my yashias were pigs..
if you're gonna do a shrimp/goby pair.. add them first to get their burrow and stuff dug. You don't want clowns beating them up when they have no where to hide.

Yeah that's my plan...cube frozen mysis shrimp?
Ocean Nutrition Formula 1?
yeah... I'm gonna be using ORAglo soon too..
I used PE mysis and hikari mysis.. not really cubed stuff, the stuff that came in sheets.. its easier to break up and only feed a small amount..
flakes or pellets is fine.. my fish typically get on pellets before flakes though...
