Bullseye pistol shrimp and ginger pistol shrimp?

Oh and by ginger I meant tiger. Stupid autocorrect.

I have had a tiger pistol shrimp and Randal goby pair for around 4 months. Not a long time but so far the 2 have been great in the tank and haven't caused any issues. They do burrow all around the tank and you will want to make sure all rock will not fall over because they will create tunnels directly under the rock. Very cool relationship although you will not see them everyday as they do spend quite a bit of time in the burrow but when they're working it is extremely cool and everyone I have had over has enjoyed watching them.

Also note they seem to be really shy so any movement in front of the aquarium or even fish movement in front of them will drive them back into there burrows.

Do you have both tiger pistol and bullseye?

Geeze, Must have jumped the gun on that one. I didn't read your whole post and was responding from my phone which sometimes misses parts of a post for some reason. I wouldn't add any Goby or Pistol shrimp with a Bullseye in the tank. They're loners and probably the cause of the original damage to the Pistol and your missing Pistols.

LOL! that happens to me with Tapatalk. I have 2 other gobies in there with no problems. Tiger is pretty happy in the fuge. Maybe that's just where he will stay.
