    That's the thing I don't really have anything in my tank that would give the shrimp problems.

    cucumber, hermits, tuxedo urchin and two clownfish.

    Hello everyone! Haven't been on here pretty much all summer. I just had a quick question, how are tiger pistol shrimps with mandarins?

    Would be just fine :) they won't pair up if that's what your thinking. Nor will the fish bother the shrimp.

    Great. I was wondering it if it would eat the mandarin. I know it wouldn't pair. Thanks Again. :)

    Pistol is looking great, gone through a few molts getting bigger. Still a strange little creature, seems to have taken a liking to an evening swim through the water column. after lights go out it comes out of its cave and swims up to the corner of the tank then buzzes around the top / middle of the water column back and forth then it finally settles in and wanders around the tank.

    so much for being shy and rarely seen.

    For the first 4-6 weeks this one was like that I really thought that it had died then I noticed sand had been pushed around and shortly after it reappeared.

    How long have you had the bullseye?
