pistol shrimp, and harlequin shrimp
Just trying to learn something new.
If I get a pair of harlequin shrimp, and a goby/pistol shrimp pair, will the pistol shrimp kill the harlequins if it can get the shot? |

I think Yes not a good idea but I have not researched this much, but I know you can't do a pistol and a cleaner shrimp so I would say that would be the same.

I have a tiger pistol paired with a yellow watchman in my 75g I also have a skunk cleaner, fire, and peppermint shrimp that have not had any problems ever. So i dont know about a harlequin but i would think they would be fine. IMHO

I have a 42 gallon with a pistol shrimp/yasha goby. I have 2 cleaner shrimp in there now with no problems.
But i also would like to know if i can mix a harlequin shrimp in with them. Its the only tank i can even have shrimp in as my big tanks have fish that eat them. |

In my 40 I had a pair of harlequin that lived peacefully with pistol/goby combo and a skunk. After two years I got rid of my harlequin because of the feeding requirements was fouling my water more then I would like

My pistol killed my Harlequin in 4 hours, I think the color, pattern, and body shape was too much for his liking

When I had a pistol I couldn't have any other crustaceans in the tank. He killed any type of shrimp or crab there with great quickness and efficiency. On the bright side he got rid of several gorilla crabs that snuck in on my live rock.
