Purchased one of these to pair with a watchman goby. Bought them at the same time so I could QT them in the same tank and give them time to find each other. Sadly, neither made the trip. Kudos to Saltwaterfish though! I followed their protocol and sent in photos within the allotted timeframe for live arrival guarantee and a few days later, recieved healthy replacements. I honestly think the weather is responsible for the first shipment not making it. Plus, FedEx delivered in the evening versus the morning, extending the time the poor creatures spent on a hot truck. The second shipment arrived at 9:30am and all 3 specimens were oxygenated and then acclimated and placed in tanks inside of two hours. I am happy to report my little shrimp and goby have found each other and are getting aquatinted! They will have a few weeks in QT together before the go in the main display.

Tiny little shrimp but he was pretty. I bought him for my watchman. I haven't seen either since putting them in the tank. I haven't not seen any bodies so I suppose they are under a rock somewhere

Very Small, but very healthy. I would not recommend purchasing if you have large fish that pick at their tank mates. I purchased to pair with my Yellow Watchman Goby (about 2 times the size of the shrimp), it took approximately a week for them to find one another but they are inseparable now. Very interesting relationship to watch in your home aquarium.

This pistol shrimp arrived in great health and is flourishing in my tank. Would recommend.
