Pairing

Just out of curiousity, I will be starting up a 3g Pico soon and I wanted to just put a Yashia Shrimp Goby Paired with Red Banded Pistol Shrimp in there. But I was curious if I threw in 2 sexy shrimp just to keep the place nice and neat, would there be any issues?

I feel like if I just throw the goby and pistol shrimp in, then the pistol shrimp won't do a well enough cleaning job. I'm hoping the sexy shrimp are small enough that they won't be a problem.

Just try and keep the pistol well fed and maybe get a few ricordea mushrooms and keep them high in the tank. One of the pistol shrimps main source of food is shrimp!... In the wild that is... that and small fish. The pistol shrimp will stay in the sand buried in his tunnels so if you keep the sexy shrimp in the shrooms the pistol will not come out of his hole to hunt them down. They are practically blind, the sexy's might get eaten if they enter the pistols caves.
