To get rid of them coz I've had a few people tell me they can kill small inverts once they get bigger. To be honest i dont mind them but from the info I've been told and read on the net i kinda thought i should get rid of them. But if there not a bad thing they will be defiantly stay residents of my tank lol

I have a Yellow Watchman Goby (juvenile) that is without a pistol shrimp. Have been observing its behaviour. I have white glove shrimp (rock-pool shrim) in with it. The Goby tries to pair up with these shrimp and lead them back to the goby's hole. I can only assume that the goby is trying to lead its new found frend home..............I can just imagine it saying , mummy, it followed me home :-)

Will have to keep on the look out for a pistol to pair with my goby. From what I have read, the tiger pistol shrimp (Alpheus bellulus) is the shrimp that the yellow watchman goby most assocated with.

If you have a pistol shrimp with the goby can you have a pair of CBS in the tank...or if not, what can you have in there
Down the track I would like an eel, which shrimps hang with them
