Has anyone ever tried keeping multiple pistol shrimp & watchman gobies? I have a pair and would love to get more. I think they are so neat to watch. Will they get along or fight?

Only will survive in a large tank I heard. They will fight in smaller tanks.

Kristyn: If you have a lot of surface area on the bottom of the tank, you may be ok with one more pair, you'll just have to see. Personally, one more pair would be the most I would do. They really like alot of room.

I agree. You can try, but attempt it at night and on the opposite side of the tank. You have to realize that even these small fish have fair size territories in the wild and the small surface areas of most tanks (even some larger ones) is usually just not enough to support more than one individual (or mated pair).
