If your not going to keep him I'm sure a LFS would take him in on trade. Or post in the Buy/Sell forum. I would take him but I already have a goby/shrimp pair, my pistol shrimp doesn't have the huge claw like yours though (maybe mine's a female?).

Yeah I've kinda thought about it, he's so tiny though I'm not even sure a store would want him, he's maybe 1/4 of an inch at most. I'll probably just end up keeping the little guy.

Wish you were up a bit further north. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

So I got an orange spotted goby today to see if they'll pair up. I put the pistol in the bag with the goby while it was being aclimated and he seemed kinda happy, basically stayed right by his head in the bag. I let them out together and the goby went off into the rocks and the little pistol was right behind swimming after him. Hopefully that's a good sign, haven't seen either one of them since they were both put into the tank a couple hours ago.

My goby sits outside their cave most of the day. I rarely see the pistol shrimp, the only chance I get is when he decides to push some sand out. But when ever he does make an appearance he always has one antenna on the goby which is neat.
