New Addition - Dracula Goby / Pistol

[Djbetterly]

So I picked this pair up from divers den last week. I introduced them as per instructions from divers den and I have yet to see either of them since introduced. Should I be anxious? Cause I am!!!

The Japanese pistol shrimp I picked from you is been gone for 2 weeks.

When i first got my goby and pistol shrimp i didn't see them much either. As time went by they would come out during feedings or just hang out by there tunnel entrance. A good way to tell is the pistol shrimp is ok is to look if its boroughs are expending (if you see new piles of sand around the live rock). You could also fill in one of its entrances and see if it gets re- opened.

Once they get comfortable and you start seeing them they are a great addition to the tank and fun to watch interact.

Well the shrimp the goby came with was so tiny I was worried from the get go. I dont see any burrows nor do i see the goby. The goby is not small either, probably over two inches. I'm more worried that something happened to the goby than I am about the shrimp at the moment. I just don't understand where it could be? Of course my biggest fear is it died but it seemed so strong and healthy when I put it in.

Ok! I found the goby, he's bunked up with my yellow head jawfish.

I put in my pistol and Dracula a month apart. Never saw the pistol until today and they were together! Patience!

Do you hear it snapping? That thing could wake me up in the middle of the night it was so loud. I rarely saw it unless I took a red flashlight to its hole at night. That shrimp really liked mysis!
