pairing pistol and goby help, also help raising pistols from eggs

[Reef Puffer]

ya as for pairing the two i here it should happen instantly when they meet. i also read that the goby might not pair with the shrimp. they are a compatable pair and goby has tried a few times. it serms the shrimp was just not interested (i assume because of her being ready to lay eggs maybe). but now that the eggs are gone i was hoping maybe she wasnt so hormonal... as for the eggs being anygood, from what i read they are fertalized before they are layed. day one was eggs and day two was tonnes of little bugs in the sand. i put half the eggs in my sump and left the rest to lay in my dt. i guess i just wait and see if any mature on their own i guess. if i had known she was paired i woulda bought both shrimps that day.... thanx for your inputs people.

Oh...she was in contact with another shrimp recently? If that's the case the eggs could be viable then. If the eggs aren't viable they will disintegrate rather quickly.
