I wanted to order a pistol shrimp & goby. I looked at a Tiger pistol & that looks like the most colorful type. What is the more colorful goby that will pair up & where can I order them from. I already tried Dr fosters/FFE.
tiger pistol and a yellow watchman goby make a nice pair. i think you'd have the best luck ordering online. none of the LFS' in my area have shrimp/goby pairs in stock very often. the main thing to consider when trying to get a goby and a shrimp to play nice is where they are from. species from similar regions might have a better chance of pairing up, as well as hopefully preferring similar conditions.
I have the combo mentioned by Hwarang. Got them at different LFS. Did you ask your LFS if they can get what you need? It's well worth the trouble whichever route you take. Very fun to watch, esp. at feeding time, they really comunicate with each other, all kinds o' touchy feely.
Fun thing to watch is how the shrimp will keep one of its very long facial antennae touching the goby above. I read it's cuz their eyesight is poor, or perhaps a better way to say it is that their other senses are equally important.
