    Very cool. At one point, I had two pistols and a hi-fin in the same hole. I haven't seen the other pistol in a while, so either he moved, or got squished in a rock slide that I had a couple months back.

    That's SO cool! That is a pairing I would like to have... I will be getting a goby & pistol whenever I can get a bigger tank. I can't wait! Thanks for sharing such a fun story!!! :D

    snapped a pic of the pair of pistols and one of the gobies (this gobie seems to have run the other one off......they are no longer friends....)....
