Pics of my pistol shrimp

cant see to good but you can see how big the gun is

 

couldn't really see him good in any of the pics... but cool cool. what else do you have in there with him?

 

Awesome, I love pistol shrimps! Do you have a goby in there with him?

 

I have a pair of PS and yes i have a yellow watchmen goby

 

now you just need to pair up your watchman with a mate...

 

I have two pistol shrimps that arrived on my live rock, well i had 3 really but i caught one & got rid as i thought it was a mantis shrimp! ( in my learning days!) I have found one of my pistols home.........under one of my big LR & at night when i have the blue led on i can watch him dig out his hole but i have only ever seen his claw & whiskers as he seems to shy and he's only little. Im sure there is one more in there as i here little clicks from one part of my tank but at the back at the other end i hear really loud clicks so i guess there must be a bigger one in there somewhere......

Sweet.. I am afraid to have one.. afraid they would kill something lol

 

I would definitely recommend you to get a watchman goby, they will look after each other and are more likely to live longer. Not only does my gobies keep watch for danger so that the shrimp can be more active during the day, the shrimp cleans my gobies and I have seen the gobies take food (even shedded exoskeletons from my other shrimp) and give them to the goby to keep it well fed.

 

I really want to get one with a yellow watchman..

thats pretty cool..

 

I just got a Tiger Pistol Shrimp and just 2 days later he and the yellow watchman took their claim under some LR. Here is the Tiger Pistol just cleaning out his borrow.
