    I have a Yellow Watchman Gob but I am afraid I seperated him from his partner at the store being a Pistol Shrimp. I do have several other Damsels at the moment and Crustacians but I don't know if the Pistol Shrimp will Coexist peacefully.

    3 Emerald Crabs
    1 Peppermint Shrimp
    1 Fire Shrimp
    1 Strawberry Crab
    1 Decorator Arrow Crab

    Might need to post this under the Crustacian Forums but let me know heh Thank you so much for any advice.:)

    Should be ok in there. There are some videos showing pistol shrimp killing other shrimps, but as long as you have enough room in there I think you'll be fine.

    I would say kiss goodbye to the other inverts. Sometimes they will go after the fish as well. All depends on the shrimp as an individual and how well fed it is.
    More suited for a species tank IMHO
