I have a 12 gallon tank and was thinking about getting a pistol shrimp/goby pair. Has anyone had a problem with keeping pistols with other shrimp like fire shrimp or cleaners?

Thanks

I have a pistol and peppermint shrimp in a 12 GAL JBJ. They could care less about one another. TBH, my pistol shrimp could care less about the watchman goby too. He just wants to dig caves and kick back.

My red japanese pistol killed 3 peppermints and a skunk cleaner shrimp.

I have a tiger pistol pair in another tank but I haven't kept any other shrimp with them so I don't know how they'll react.

I think you would be fine with a smaller pistol, like a candy-cane.

I have a pistol with a pair of peppermints in a 12g with no problem.
