I am looking for a goby to pair with a pistol shrimp. I will probably order them off liveaquaria but I need some advice. Thanks

I have always had luck with a yellow watchman which are also very common. I've also had a high fin goby pair up, there are probably many others but those are two that I know for a fact have done it for me!

not all gobys will pair with the pistol shrimp! its pretty hard to get them to actually get them to help each other out.

That's why i posted here asking which one would pair with a shrimp, becasue I know just any won't do it.

i ordered a YWG. I like them, but was just kinda wanting something different, but I found them for 10 bucks on sale so I ordered me one today!!

Excellent choice - I love my YWG. Good luck!

My YWG & Tiger Pistol Shrimp have been paired up for about 2 years now. They never leave eachother's side. Since you are getting the YWG, a Tiger or Randalls Pistol shrimp should do fine.
