    i have one tiger pistol shrimp in a 90 gallon tank! he teamed up with a 3 inch yellow watchman goby!
    if i got another pistol shrimp and another yellow watchman goby would i have any problems between them? and is there a chance i could get either to breed?
    i also have 80 pounds of live rock, 2 clown fish a pink bubble tip and a bunch of snails and hermit crabs

    any help?

    I believe that there may be some fighting, but I'm not totally positive. Shrimp gobies can be aggressive to each other if not a mated pair. I'm not sure how the shrimp would interact. You are probably going to want 20-30 more pounds of rock in that tank. Get base rock though. Its much cheaper.
