Weezer Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 hi, i cant get a pic of him because hes always hiding, but its a tiny pistol shrimp, red with a white line going down the back. it also has almost like white stripes on the main arms. any help, i was also wondering, if thise type normally links up with gobies?

this1fish Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 sounds like a cleaner shrimp with the red w/ white lines running down it's back. Could also be a candy cane pistol. Link to comment
Weezer Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 its def a pistol, i see the one claw is used to snap alot lol. i guess candy cane then? Link to comment
Argent Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 no I wasn't asking - I was offering up suggestions I know I have a Tiger Pistol Link to comment
Weezer Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 no lol, its not either of those. imagine a cleaner shrimp with a pistol claw lol, thats what it looks like. im going to try and snap a pic later Link to comment
Weezer Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 i got a few pics, they arent good, but maybe somebody could help anyway Link to comment
ram man Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Sorry, I dont know the species but I have seen them before. The ones i have seen are pretty mean little guys, they seem to be one of the more aggresive pistol along with the bullseye pistol. And i wouldnt plan on it pairing with any gobies. Link to comment
this1fish Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 that is a red pistol shrimp. they are very common Link to comment
Weezer Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 yup, thats the one, thanks alot. do they normally pair with certain goby's, because i have a candy cane goby in there, and they arent pairing, oh well. is there any advice on making them pair? Link to comment
this1fish Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 all you can do is let the fish find the shrimp and hope they pair up. I have had 2 of those but they always die before i could intro the fish so i don't know how compatable they are with gobies. Link to comment
althefishguy Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 they will find each other just have to wait !! Link to comment
Weezer Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 thanks alot for the help and advice guys, this morning i saw the tank (sand all over!) and all my frags were missing lol. upon further looking i see the goby and shrimp in the same hole. Link to comment
