If I put a Pistol shrimp, and a Clean Skunk Shrimp in my tank, will they fight / will the pistol eat the skunk? I've just seen a video where a pistol shrimp "shoots" the cleaner to stun it, and then drags it away to eat. Anyone ahve any tips? :P ------------- Jesse Sandstrom - The Grand Master Flash 1.5 Gallon - Mantis Shrimp |

I've never had any problems. The pistol shrimp pretty much stays hidden under the rockwork.

The outcome would be the same still if I got a shrimp goby, right? like a Barbershop goby? :D ------------- Jesse Sandstrom - The Grand Master Flash 1.5 Gallon - Mantis Shrimp |

Yes a Pistol Shrimp will get along fine with a Barberpole Goby. We bought ours together.
