All About The Flagtail Shrimp Goby and The Randalls Pistol Shrimp or Red Banded Snapping Shrimp

I know a lot of people have been asking for a shrimp goby, pretty much since I started this All About series, and I am happy to say that I got some great footage of one with a symbiotic relationship to the Randalls pistol shrimp. I really hope you enjoy this.

Got a pair yesterday and I love them, the shrimps been making that noise and it’s super loud too! Very cool symbiotic relationship!

[@BrockLeonard]

I gotta get one in my display tank! That is awesome

[@bobbiesueleonard61]

Wow. He blends so well with the sand. Very pretty.

[@Sebastianthemediagod705]

These are cool aquatic animals!

[@redemptionmuzik]

You can pair the shrimp with a pair gobbies already bonded or mated, my two yellow gobbies love when I added the pistol shrimp. Thanks for your videos, they’ve really helped me on this marine tank journey 💯

[@graysonprespare810]

Nice video dude stay well!

[@brianleonard3824]

Great video!

[@playalife5367]

I miss the (all about )psychedelic intro Love your vids, keep it up man

[@sseeaahhaawwkkssrule975]

Thanks Brock

[@MrGangnamstyler]

Hey Brock, big fan of your content. Whenever I'm interested in buying a fish and search it up, your videos always come first and give me the info I need. I was just wondering where you buy your fish because the prices you list are usually a lot cheaper than the places I get mine. I have a local fish store nearby but the fish are very overpriced so I like to shop on liveaquria but when I watched your fox face video you said you can get it for around 40 but the same exact one on LiveAquaria was listed at 85. Do you buy your fish online or at a local store?

1.020-1.025(Goby) 1.023-1.025(Shrimp) Both survive at 1.024 Shrimp(SLOW ACCLIMATION)

[@tyronbes]

Hi Brock! I'm curious about comparability with the green clown gobies?

[@surfbra27]

Lol there was alot of rare fish on there.I didn't know most of them..I only put pelagic trigger cause I saw a video of someone talking about it at orlando fish expo and totally want one but do not believe what he was saying as far as price/aggression only I cannot find anything else about it. Anyway you do a good job I'm sure we'll like whatever you put out

[@CosmicCorals1]

Yo Brock. I have a goby and ima about to upgrade my tank. Are they hardy?

[@SrtLv4x]

Hey so i have a orange spotted shrimp goby that my domino damsel has seem to made friends with, but i have special grade reef sand would that sand be okay for the goby?

[@adamjones3649]

Does the shrimp and fish always pair up or is it something that just happens over a long period of time?

[@RebelBoy1991]

It looks kinda like the Randall goby

[@helwrj28]

Thanks again for the great video! I added a yellow watch and go be about a month ago, and haven't been able to get my hands on a Randall's... I decided I will be adding a tiger pistol shrimp, any recommendations/tips for adding the shrimp to encourage bonding?

[@BrockLeonard]

When putting them in the tank, try to put them near their cave as best as you can. Also when feeding, try to direct the food so that it pushes them to go to the same spot.

[@helwrj28]

@@BrockLeonard thanks for the advice! Within 12 hours of acclimating the shrimp, they already formed a relationship and built a cave together!

[@lamkeith37]

Hey Brock..I'm on my way to pick up a metallic goby..is that shrimp goby

[@moereefer]

I bought a pistol shrimp which I thought was a scarlet shrimp. It’s a giant after what this pistol shrimp built giant tunnels under rocks it made sand storms so I bought a yellow watchman goby and the shrimp is twice the size of him but I guess I can never catch him he killed a bunch of Sexy shrimp Is there a way to catch him please help??? Anything I put near the home they live in they will move or put sand on it. I wish I knew in the beginning I had a huge pistol shrimp??? It’s sooo loud too but cool in ways. But is there a way to catch them?

[@kiwi_beans6477]

Can the Randall pistol shrimp be good for my emerald crabs if I placed them on my reef tank I’m planning of getting one

[@BrockLeonard]

As long as the emerald crab has plenty to eat you should not run into any problems. A hungry crab can sometimes get aggressive.

[@willrobertson9481]

Do these guys eat pellets?

[@coreycollins6373]

So are Pistol shrimp compatible with other types of shrimp?

[@coreycollins6373]

@Paul Hopkins thank you.. I want to add to my collection of shrimp lol .

[@junkbuilds5973]

What, if any, shrimp can bond with a diamond goby? Love the vids! Thanks

[@BrockLeonard]

It’s rare a shrimp will bond to a Diamond, as they dig constantly around the tank instead of inhabiting one cave. I’ve seen people try the randalls but never have much luck

[@junkbuilds5973]

@@BrockLeonard seems to hold true for mine as well since I added a shrimp a week ago. Thanks

[@JayDisawesome]

You said Diamond Goby's will pair with the shrimp. Most things I am reading on forums say this is not the case since they are sand sifters. Do you have any personal experience with them? I really like them but will grab something else if they won't pair.

[@redemptionmuzik]

I have 2 bonded yellow watchman gobbies and when I add the shrimp they paired immediately, I just dropped him in by there whole, first he dug tunnels for them there, now he’d moved them to the other side of the tank with even more space. He does change the sand landscape everyday so be prepared for that, but I love it he makes it look more natural with his tunnels and sand piles 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@FortheBudgies]

My lfs said sand sifting gobies basically slowly starve to death because there isn't enough in the sand too sustain them and they are hard to feed.

[@teddygerstein3575]

will yellow watchman goby pair with red banded snapping shrimp?

[@BrockLeonard]

I've seen it in the past! it's definitely worth a shot

[@jenniferxjeffrey]

Will a pistol shrimp kill my other small fish and snails, hermits and fire shrimp with its snap

[@BrockLeonard]

Very rare. These pistol shrimps aren't that aggressive to go and kill your fish.

[@stephenparkkkkk]

hey brock, could i put one of these guys in a 20 gallon? Would he be ok with an emerald crab?

[@BrockLeonard]

YES! 😁

[@stephenparkkkkk]

@@BrockLeonard thank you for all of your advice!

[@oofpokemon5275]

Give the old intro back pls

[@BrockLeonard]

I can definitely see it coming back in the future 😎
