Terestron Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I want to add a goby and a pistol shrimp pair to my 24G. What is the easiest to pair up? how about colorful? any recommendations? Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yasha Hashe and Candy stripe pistol, more info here: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=147269 Edit: fixed link. Link to comment
FateX9 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i think the coolest shrimp goby is the dracula goby but thats only because theyre rare in the hobby, looks almost exactly like the high fin goby but without the high fin Link to comment

allenspidey Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have a blue spotted goby. They go through some color changes that are kind of cool. However the adult color is kinda ugly. Very fun to watch when they come out. Link to comment
roninmagik1 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I had a randalls goby and a yasha goby...the randalls came out more, but the yasha was prettier....i'm thinking of trying a barber pole goby next... Link to comment
complex number Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 not trying to hijack the thread but I was just about to post on goby/shrimp pairs. What is the feeding for them like? liveaquaria.com says to feed Yashas twice a day. That would kill my water quality I think. once a day would be fine for my water quality but I don't want to starve the little guy. Can a owner chime in? Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It seems that Alpheus randalli is the pistol that many gobies will pair up with. You may call me "Yasha" King of the Stonogobiops Link to comment

I feed mine cyclopeeze once daily (not because he's got a small mout to feed my corals also) and pe mysis once a week. They are extremley heathy as I've had my pair (2x gobies) for over two years.

That matches my feeding schedule, so this is sounding like a great addition to my tank. Link to comment
