Great picture! I have owned a pink spotted shrimp goby for years. A great fish with amusing and entertaining behavior.

I got a yellow watchman goby for my pistol shrimp. They went together immediately and set up housekeeping for about a week. Then they got divorced. The goby lives on one side of the tank, the shrimp on the other. This has been the situation for 3 months now, so reconsiliation is probably out of the question. Go figure.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but it's the thought that counts.

Hey skunk clown, your goby looks likes mine. Mine has been in for almost a month now. The only time the tank gets a little cloudy now is when the shrimp is cleaning tunnels in the evening. I think once all the tunnels are dug they slow down a lot, but they are still great to watch.

The sand bed has been pretty rearanged this last month. There is about 30 to 40 percent of my original sand bed intact. I know its hard to see it destroyed but I guess it comes with the guest. I hope once they have established tunnels the rest of the sand bed wil resettle.
