Hi...I thought some people would like to see the symbiosis that exists between the Yashia Haze Goby and the Randall's banded pistol shrimp. They keep close to each other and they coexist in the same cave. Some may know from my other post that the goby has better eyesight and guards the cave, protecting the shrimp who has poor eyesight. The shrimp tends to the cave and keeps it open, frequently shutting the opening at night to protect them. They both share food between each other. SH

Not sure why...I clicked on it from a computer outside my home and it was working this morning. SH
 
I enjoyed the video. Do you think the pistol shrimp will get along with my skunk cleaners?
 
I should think so.....I have both in my tank. The pistol keeps to it's cave pretty much. SH
