goby pair for red pistol shrimp

[advanwoerden]

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, but I just bought this red pistol shrimp (Japanese according to liveaquaria.com) and wanted to get a goby to pair with it. There was a yellow watchman in the same tank, but they were not interested in each other. Anyone have any success? Here's a link for a decent pic:

Thanks!

Just to clarify your question...are you trying to find out what kind of goby to buy to keep with the shrimp in the link?

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone knew of a specific goby that worked well with the red pisol shrimp in particular

If I'm not mistaken, that isn't a shrimp that will pair with a Goby. Live Aquaria will also call them Symbiotic or Prawn Gobies if they do. Did you recieve the shrimp already? If not you may want to switch the kind of shrimp you got. The 2 I see up there are the "Snapping Shrimp" or "Snapping Shrimp, Red Banded." If it were me I would go for the Red Banded guy. They stay smaller. I have a Tiger Pistol shrimp and he is always stealing my frags.
