tiger pistol shrimp

Impulsively went to my LFS and immediately knew I needed to start my very own reef tank. I’ve had a betta before, but that was nothing compared to this. Currently I’m a month and a half in with no issues once so ever. I wanted to do something with puffer fish, eels, and sea horses but some...

Gray Beards (gender neutral of course), need advice! BLUF: I've lost a few tiger pistol shrimp and diamond gobies. I think anomalies and want to try again. Need assurance or caution. To begin; "what happened was..." 75 gallon, ~3-4" sand bed, plenty of rock (see tank pict) and all is well...

I have a yellow watchman goby that is paired with a tiger pistol shrimp. It’s rare to see the pistol shrimp but the goby is outside the cave all the time. Today I saw the goby zip out and pickup a blue legged hermit crab ( tiny one) in its mouth and went into the cave. The goby came right back...

Just got this tiger shrimp today. Placed him the display tank and then less than a minute later this happened!.... https://youtube.com/shorts/i27sWnTJPeE?feature=share

will a pistol shrimp be safe for sexy shrimp?

Hi All, I recently picked up a tiger pistol shrimp from my LFS with the hope that my two spot goby might pair up with it. I know Two Spots are not well known for pairing so I still plan to add a more compatible shrimp goby (randals, yellow watchman etc). As soon as I added the tiger it made a...

Wondering if anybody else with a paired goby/pistol shrimp has experienced this. We got a yellow watchman goby last Wednesday and put him in the tank with a tiger pistol at the same time. They hit it off within 30 min and paired. BFFs. Later that night, the shrimp took off and made a burrow with...

I recently noticed when feeding that my tiger pistol shrimp lost his large front claws! :( Prior to the pincher loss, he normal and healthy, he would always hide in the burrow and would occasionally leave with the Watchman Goby, especially when feeding. I was feeding and he wouldn't completely...

Has anyone had experience with their pink spotted watchman goby showing aggression to other burrowing gobies? I want to get a yasha goby for my 22 gallon tank (45 gallon water volume with sump). My pink spot has not shown aggression when my purple Firefish hides/sleeps in his burrow. I just...

Switched over tanks and unfortunately don't have room for my Randall's Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimp. Perfectly healthy, haven't had any issue with these guys other than covering corals in my sandbed occasionally. :p They're both full grown, the pistol shrimp is a pretty good size, 2.5-3" I'd...

Okay guys, it’s me again asking for opinions! I was thinking, since Im upgrading the lights for my 55g tank, I would like to upgrade the filter also. I am looking for HOB, I do not want a sump since its going to be taking to much space I believe. Any good recommendations? This is the one I have...

Hi guys, I used to have a 29g tank and I decided to upgrade to something a little bigger, so I got a 55g. Now that I have a little more space, I would like to add some extra fishies ☺️. At the moment I have the following: A saddleback clownfish, an ocellaris, a yellow watchman goby paired with a...

I have a fairly large tiger pistol shrimp that has bonded with a watchman goby. A royal gramma lives in the same rock pile, and has been doing great, very bold, feeding etc. This am gramma was mia during feeding and found dead on bottom with abdomen partially devoured. No other visible signs...
