    I'm pretty sure i already know the answer but I'm curious. What do y'all think of these 2 in the same tank? Footprint is 30" x 30"...

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    All I can add is that my YWG does not going looking for trouble, it has to come to him and then he can give it out big time.

    In your tank with a ton of hiding spaces I would be tempted to try it, but let others chime in that have had both.

    Another question, if I was to get a yasha, do I get a second pistol shrimp?

    I would do it my YWG uses about 5" of the tank at best, except the first time I used Cyclops. All of my fish went completely nuts over it.

    I love gobies...they really are the most attentive "to me" fish in my tank when I go up to the tank. I agree with Corailline, they're really not aggressive unless you get in their zone and it's not a real large zone, IME
