Which combos of this symbiosis have worked for you? I know I'm probably shooting in the dark because it looks completely random, but I want to see if there is any recurring duos.

I freaking HATE my pistol shrimp I have never even seen the damn thing I just hear it popping all night. It hitchhiked on a live rock.

I failed Kobayashi Maru
I originally bought my pistol with I think a clown goby, but the goby died,and eventually, the shrimp paired up with my firefish.

I had a Yellow Watchman Gobie pair with my Tiger Pistol Shrimp. The Yellow finally died after a while and I think his buddy ate him @_@
Dont really like the combo tho.... they are very skiddish and dart into the sand under the LR to ANY movements : /
And the Pistol is like a bulldozer, he will bulldoze your sand all day lol.
OH, the reason I think the Goby died was because I put more fish in there (clowns) and since he is so frickin skiddish every time I feed he never got any food cuz he just darted under the rock to hide, and the clowns got it all....
It was fine when it was just the Goby in there by himself for a few months he had lots of time to come out and catch the pieces that floated by his cave XD
idk, maybe you will have a more aggressive goby.... maybe not.
