When I had my old PC lights, I rarely saw them. Then when I upgraded to T5HO, they're out all the time. The Goby cruises around the bottom of the tank and the shrimp digs everywhere. They're not as active as my clowns but the symbiotic relationship that they have is far more interesting to watch!
For a fellow Nano owner (or anyone for that matter!) I would definitely recommend them.

I added 3 pistol shrimps into my 120g now all I hear is clicking.....
in my sump I added one and see him lots sometimes then not othertimes my sump refuge area is comparable to 20g, I added a blue pistol to my AIO never to be seen again but the clicking does sound neat!!

What do you provide for food for the pistol shrimp? I know they kill other shrimp, but do they kill small fish as well?

I see my pair daily and they surrvive on the mysis that i feed everyone else. I just make sure a few go into the entrance to the home that they have made for themselves. I really enjoy watching them and would put in another pair if I had room.
I have seen no aggression at all out of them other than when somebody comes a little to close and gets run off.

My pair is in a 16 gallon nano with a clown goby and a peppermint shrimp. No aggression from the pistol towards my peppermint nor to my hermits. I just feed the tank and he gets what he gets.

i just picked up a hifin red banded goby and a randalls pistol shrimp from J&L. they teamed up within 10 seconds and started burrowing.
earlier in the week i went to king eds and was talked into a pistol shrimp that i was told was goby friendly. i also bought a hifin... well...when i got home i found out the pistol shrimp was a bullseye pistol shrimp...which are definitely not goby friendly. the goby was down with hanging out...but the pistol shrimp decided to eat it the first night in the tank. so he was brought to JL yesterday.lol
