I just got a yellow watchman goby, and I read that they will burrow w/ pistol shrimp, so I want to get one. What other kind of shrimp can I get? I dont want them to fight or kill each other! I will have them in a 20 gallon tall...

there are many kinds of pistol shrimp ... i love mine every nite you can hear him sound off ... it's so cool... i wouldnt put a lot in a 20 and the goby you will love they are also very hardy fish
I just wanna have to shrimp, not a lot I know its a small tank lol. I like the goby so far it seems very interesting. It just seems to be taking a little longer to adjust than the other fish I got w/ it. The second day I had it (yesterday) it was constantly swimming around, but today it seems to be fine!
try to get a golden coral banded..maybe even a Harlequin ...Harliquin are very cool but you have to feed them star fish.... yet the Star fish lasts forever if you can get a mated pair of Harlequin they will most likely breed and have offspring ...the goby will for sure eat the babies but it's a cool cycle to see
View attachment goldcoralbandedshrimp.bmpheres is a pic of one i found on line i am sure others here have better
I dont know any individual pistol shrimp names so i cant help you but dont listen to these guys none of the shrimps mentioned are pistol shrimps and arent what you where looking for.

pistol shrimps are pretty cool but I have never seen them at my LFSs. Is your goby a blind species? Is that why it lives with the shrimp. I know there is a species ....Never mine, the shrimp is blind and the goby guides it, I can't remember what they are though but they would make a great tank pair.
