    How about a Yasha Hasi Goby and a nice tiger pistol shrimp? So entertaining.

    Do you own a goby pistol pair? I have a orange spotted watchman and a tiger pistol. And I think the pistol would get to big for the little 5.5. He's like almost 1.5in long and is so freaking loud lol. It sounds like someone is taking a ball pean hammer to the side of my tank lol. He also ate my cleaner shrimp. I'd like to keep something that would be out and visible for her to look at sometimes. All though maybe in a lil tank he'd be more visible. I dunno I'll have to think about it...

    I did! So cool. Had them for a year. Moved in with my girl, didn't want to bring my 5 tanks...so I brought my 72g and my pico. Shrimp and goby went into the 72g and the goby disappeared. Most likely picked off by another goby? He was there for a few weeks. Never see him now. I feel bad for the shrimp. I truly miss that pair. Was one of the coolest things I ever saw.

    Its going to be during on a fling cabinet so there isn't much of an underneath it. If she likes this and decides she wants something bigger I am going to help her set up something bigger (which I think she will).

    Ps I love their overflows and have one on my 90

    I see. Nice bottom trim though! I have seen a buddy get some black plastic and have it cut with slots in the top, and take a few inches of the end of the tank for a make shift refuge.
