I have a "pair" of Yashi's that I bought. I don't know if they are a pair, or just tolerant of each other. They do share the same cubby holes. I want to know what you folks think.
Here is the question.
Do you think if I got a symbiotic shrimp, if they would fight over it? or both protect it.

I have seen them share a pistol shrimp, even two different types of shrimp gobies sharing the same shrimp. I have never seen a problem with them fighting over the shrimp but will leave that for others to chime in on who may have more experience than I.
I would be extremely careful in choosing the pistol shrimp however, many of them can grow quite large and become dangerous to other decorative shrimp and even are said to have cracked glass tanks.
We have a candy stripe and a small tiger pistol (two different tanks) one with a Yellow watchman and the other with an Orange Spot Goby. Love them!

You most likely have a pair, gobys don't tolerate the same sex very well.
They should share a pistol shrimp but they don't need a shrimp. I'd rather
have them without a shrimp to see if they'll spawn. Lucky you....I've always
wanted a pair of those fish.

Good to know, Thanks guys.
These are the ones that Delaney showed you Gale, the day we got her clowns. If they get big maybe you can work your magic.
