Pistol Shrimp vs Cleaner Shrimp

[mseepman]

It's tough to ever know the right answer to this one. In the wild, there have been videos of pistols knocking out cleaners for food. I have a pistol (with goby) and a peppermint shrimp in a 16g nano and they all get along fine.

Since you don't have your goby anymore, the pistol probably doesn't venture out as much and may be a little harder up for food. That means it could be more agressive.

I would look into getting a new goby partner for the pistol first...they don't usually last long without one.

You never can tell.
