Hey everyone,
Has anyone had success ordering a paired pistol/goby (i guess of any kind) from BlueZoo?
I ordered a YWG and Tiger pistol pair and when it arrived, the YWG was tiny (looks like a baby, probably less than an inch), far smaller than the pistol. They came in the same bag, I acclimated them together, and even while acclimating them, the goby seemed terrified of the pistol. Every time the pistol came near him, he darted somewhere else.
So I figured, maybe once they get in the tank, they'll be a little better together. I had a small hole dug for the shrimp in front of the tank in hopes they'd reside there, and I put both of them in the tank like right in that spot, however the goby wanted nothing to do with it. He ended up darting off somewhere else.
I guess my question is, does anyone know if Gobies will pair with a pistol at such a young age? I spoke w/BlueZoo about it and they said in the wild, sometimes the gobies will eat the pistols, and this is why they ship them the way they do (goby being much smaller) I was under the assumption if you buy em' paired, then they should stick together once put into the tank, but maybe that's an incorrect assumption
Thanks!
