pistol shrimp

I got a pistol shrimp and a goby together. but when i put them in tank. One went one way and the other went the other way. wanted to know if pistol will find the goby again? I have a 180 gal reef. wasnt sure where to post this

 

yea they will some time...i added my pital shrimp way after i put my goby in and they found each other and havent left each other ever since

 

There's no guarantees but they probably will find each other eventually.

 

I just added a pistol shrimp to my tank on Friday. I havent seen the guy since (pretty sure hes in a hole that wasnt there before I added him). I am hoping he joins up with my goby in the near future.

 

thats what i thought to . thanks guys

 

yea, I havent seen mine either . Not sure where he went. lol , I have 180 gal reef . I would like to load pics . but i cant figure photo bucket. It resizes the picture but i can never find it

 

They hopefully will find each other. Unfortunately, our first pair didn't. BUT, the goby was very small and extremely skittish and didn't acclimate at all in the tank. He just never seemed right. We added another goby not long after and they paired up the first night. Good luck!

 

lol, I keep looking at night with lights out. Thats another question, how often do you hear them . so far i havent ?

 

During that period between the two gobies (maybe a week), I didn't hear the pistol shrimp at all. I wasn't sure he was still alive and never saw him. The first time I saw him was after he paired up with the new goby and they were bulldozing. I was so thrilled, I dragged my son out of bed on a Saturday morning to look. He wasn't quite as thrilled as I was....

Sometimes, the shrimp doesn't make much noise and sometimes he can be pretty loud. Yours might just be laying low for now!

 

I hope so, I always thought they were really neat how they pared-up
