i'm also ordering some shrimp, peppermint and i'd lie to order a pistol to se that whole symbiosis thing w/ the goby. So whcih goby should i get and will the pistol(or do you think i should just get a cleaner shrimp) and the peppermint coexist? I appreciate all opinions.

get a yellow watchman and pair it up with pistol shrimp. it's a very interesting combination. the way they work together is really cool.

I'm with mitz... Yellow watchman and pistol would be really cool. Beware, the pistol will dig dig dig! If your rockwork is narrow at the bottem he may cause trouble.

Wheeler's watchman goby is also known as a Blackray Shrimp goby. It will have the same relationship with a pistol as a yellow watchman. In fact, its size, diet, and behavior is almost identical to a yellow watchman. Pick whichever one you like best aesthetically, and don't worry about it.
