    Default Shrimp compatabiility?

    Hello everyone,
    I am slowly stocking my 6 gal. nano and picked up a cleaner shrimp yesterday. I am debating wether I want a pearly white jawfish, or a goby teamed up wtih a pistol shrimp.

    This leads me to my question. Would it be ok to have a cleaner shrimp in the tank with a pistol shrimp? I believe they are both pretty dosile...but 6 gal. doesn't leave much room for establishing territories.

    Thanks for the help!
    ...I think my fish just farted.

    tyler, I think you would be allright, a pistol is pretty reclusive and sticks to the rock work. Ithink they would inhabit 2 diff plains of the tank. i think you would be allright with that mix

    I have a yellow head jawfish in the same 20gal tank (were in a 10gal tank for almost 6 months) as my two pistols/yellow watchman group.......they don't bother eachother.....

    the jawfish finds a place it likes and thats it.....they don't move.....

    the pistols however move all over the tank....every morning I wake up to find I new burrow for them......
