    I looked into online and it seems there are more people asking the same question than people answering it. I did find one record of it working, but I assume its rare compared to other shrimp gobys.

    If you do decide to try it I would suggest quarantining them in a smaller tank with sand bed so they can get used to each other and form a pair without worries of hiding from other fish.
