Yasha Goby/Pistol Shrimp

The Goby stands guard as the Pistol builds more tunnels for them to live in. If any danger appears the Goby warns the blind pistol and they both retreat into their tunnel like the Vietcong

hey 1 more question how big does the yasha goby get? and what type of pistol shrimp is that? and in my 9G biocube i was going to have about 3 inches of sand with 2 or three small living rocks is this okay or do i need a big rock?

@venum411 I would suggest that you sign up at nano-reef . com and do some searches. I know a ton of people on there have 9G biocubes. I bet some of them even have the exact setup you're describing.

dude love this vid! i was looking into getting yasha goby/ pistol shrimp could this pair fit in a 9 gallon biocube?

@venum411 Thanks! I'm sure they would be fine in a 9G as long as thats the only fish in the tank. Be sure to give them a deep sand bed. At least 2 inches.

Great video. I now have 2 Yasha gobies and 3 pistols. Origionally had a single Yasha/Pistol pair. Bought a 2nd Yasha and they got along for a week then problems - new Yasha stole old one's shrimp. Bought 2 more pistols - good thing because one paired with the new Yasha and his pistol and now he has 2, and the origional Yasha has one. Everyone is happy.

@pache11 Nice, I never thought about getting a second Yasha. Mainly because they are expensive. It must be really cool to watch all that interaction though.
