pistol shrimp

still no pistol , I will keep looking for him:

 

awe the romanatic tale of goby and shrimp. from 2 different worlds yet drawn to each other

 

i had the same problem when i got my pistol shrimp... i scooped him outta the bag and he clung to the net... when i shook him off he fell into a little crevace in the reef and didn't come out. i though "great, $15 on a shrimp i'll never see..." the watchman was roaming around all over the place, i could tell he could hear the pistol cause he never strayed that far from his hiding place. on the 3rd day i looked at my tank in the morning and the watchman was stickin his head out from a newly dug shrimp cave

so don't worry with the pistol... it's bound to get hungry pretty soon and start looking for food. it'll have to climb down to the bottom and make a cave somewhere, and when it does, your watchman will probably find it.

 

Yea... still havent seen mine since I put him in. About a week ago I saw a channel of freshly plowed sand around a rock on the opposite side of the tank, but no digging. Havent heard him nor seen him.

 

How deep must your sandbed be to house a pistol/goby paired in there home?
