    so a couple weeks ago i added a red banded pistol shrimp and a yellow watchman goby, i was looking for them to pair up obviously...unfortunately as soon as they got in the tank they each went to complete opposite sides of the tank, is there any techniques or ideas anyone has as a way to get them to meet up?

    let nature run it course, in a closed environment there are never any guarantees

    Mine didn't pair up for about a month. They worked together for about another month before my pink spot goby ate my pistol shrimp. Been trying to catch him to replace with yellow.
