Check out the shrimp I picked up at Stingray Bay yesterday!! It's no more than a half inch long, I love it. I hooked up a little home for it out of a breeding tank. I drilled a bunch of holes for waterflow, then I just hooked it up to my overflow, it works perfect. The little guy is at home already digging his heart out!! He'll be paired up with my yellow watchman goby when he's big enough. Anyways, here he is.

Oh yeah, any suggestions on what to feed this guy since he's so small?

Thanks
Darrell

there is a run on small pistols latley or I like to call them pis -devil we were suposed to get 6 got only one about the same size as him he should find lots to eat in your tank he looks cool soon he will be a real pistol.
 
darrell... dont expect to ever have a frag on the sand bed, i speak from experience.

mine ate ANYTHING that got to him, i never fed him directly and had him for over a year but i was tired of him doing as he pleased to my frags and sand bed.

Funny you should say that since I'm in the process of trying to get everything off my sandbed as it is. He'll be going into a ten gallon with just him and my YWG eventually, but he'll be a little guy for awhile:D. It's good to hear they'll eat pretty much anything, that's what I figured, but it's always good to hear it from other people.
 
I have one like yours that lives in the sump with a clown goby, and then I have the double pistol big guy in the tank. Also, once your little guy grows up like mine it wont matter where the frags are if he wants them he will get them unless they are glued down with concrete. Still wouldnt trade him not that I would be able to catch him anyway.
