Very cool shrimp!!!! I just sold mine with it's goby and it snapped all the time...noisy little fellows. My Mom has one in her tank that is tiny...but snaps all the time too. They're very cool, but noisy!

Ive heard that getting a pistol and goby to pair isn't as simple as throwing the two in the same tank and praying. I seem to recall that they are species specific.

Unless he is...like 5" long...he's likely very harmless. The worst he could do would be to take out a hermit crab or something. You're lucky you didn't do him in while trying to get to him.

My experience is that a very small pistol can make a very large noise.

Too bad you are in Calgary, he would be welcome in my tank.

Very cool. I have had a clicking in my tank since it was 2 months old. I think it is also a pistol. I have not seen a burrow so I suspect it is in the rock as well.

If it is living in the rock will it pair with a goby and create a burrow in the substrate?
