10 g nano creature question

bahhareef · 04/03/2007, 01:17 PM

will a pistol shrimp work in a 10 g nano with a peppermint shrimp, a clown, and a goby?

sir_dudeguy · 04/03/2007, 01:52 PM

yep, they should be fine. the 2 shrimp will pretty much ignore each other, and same with the fish probably.

Well sir-dudeguy pretty much said it all

Remember only certain gobys and certain pistol shrimp will form that symbiotic relation ship that is so cool tho.

Like a tiger pistol shrimp and a Diamond goby or yellow watchman goby would probably hook up.

would a pistol shrimp ever form a symbiotic relationship with a blenny? or are there just certain types of gobies which are compatible?

nano7joy · 04/03/2007, 07:52 PM

I have only heard of gobies

sir_dudeguy · 04/03/2007, 10:05 PM

never heard of it w/blennies. I have a randalli that is paired w/a yellow watchman goby. Took em' about 2 minutes to pair up lol.

dont mean to hijack your thread but quick question.....

would a yellow watchman and a blood shrimp work in a 6 gal.....i know they wouldnt pair but just in general would they work together

sir_dudeguy · 04/04/2007, 08:12 AM

I dont see why not. Blood shrimp (arent those the same thing as fire shrimp too?) do get somewhat bigger tho i think....but it should be ok in a 6 i think.
