Well that explains where my two sexy shrimp ended up. I have never seen my pistol but I sure do hear him.

I think that the pistol shrimp shown in this video is not generally the kind we get in the aquarium trade.

I have a pistol goby pair in my 16g nano with a peppermint shrimp and a pom-pom crab and both are fine with the co-habitation. I think the pistol there is a much more agressive kind. Mind you, I do make sure to feed my tank and I don't want any of my critters looking like lunch anytime soon.

yup those ones are common in petstores i used to have a mated pair. i had to remove them from the ank once and had them in a container together and they freaked out at eachother and started snapping it actualy warmed the water in the cup up
