pistol shrimp are good with gobys and will put one antenna on them and never leave its side.

karazy · 03-22-2008, 06:11 PM

i dont think i want a pistol shrimp after watching this video:http://www.phaithful.com/blog/pistol...ature-sun.html

jose12 · 03-22-2008, 08:49 PM

I didn't put mine in my display for that same reason

I have a tiger pistol shrimp.

karazy · 03-23-2008, 05:29 AM

ya, but the reason i would want one jose is so i could see the symbiotic relationship between the shrimp and the goby

ive decided that if i can get my hands on one, i want a yashia goby

CarterNichols · 03-23-2008, 06:09 AM

i think there are probably different kinds of pistol shrimps and that temperature of the sun firing ones aren't common at the LFS... besides that i haven't heard of them going after fish.. but like any shrimp it'll fight and or kill other shrimp..

they do, but they can be/are hard to find. o well, my city has about 12 fish stores, thats not including the ones with puppies and kittens and birds ect.

jose12 · 03-23-2008, 06:53 PM

Yeah your right.

Can't you order one?

karazy · 03-23-2008, 09:52 PM

probably, but its just easier finding one IMHO

hehe my birthday is coming up on april 9th. finaly i get money for my tank! muahahahah!

jose12 · 03-23-2008, 10:33 PM

woot! that's great man

karazy · 04-08-2008, 01:20 AM

for the overflow i want(http://www.petsolutions.com/Overflow...089014.aspx)it looks like theres 2 holes in the bottom. whats a way to make the 2 pipes connect? and also, is it better to plumb with flexible tubing or with pvc?...

CollegeReefer · 04-08-2008, 05:18 AM

plumb with pvc. As for the two holes there are several things you can do. You can have it drop to a fuge and the other to your sump. You can also buy a y however you will have to make sure the two ends are 1 inch that goes to a 2 inch. But if you ask me that is a lot of pipe. My 1 inch pipe drops 700gph.

karazy · 04-08-2008, 11:01 PM

hmm...

i think i might make a sump with the refugium on the left and the sump part on the right and the return in the midle. sounds like the best idea to me...

karazy · 04-14-2008, 04:22 AM

well i just ordered my overflow box. woohoo

**Fishfirst** · 04-14-2008, 02:13 PM

pistol shrimp are nothing to worry bout. I've had mine for years without problems and many other people have as well.

karazy · 04-14-2008, 11:13 PM

karazy · 04-23-2008, 01:41 AM
