Yellow watchman goby and skunk cleaner shrimp

Do a yellow watchman goby and a skunk cleaner shrimp get along together?

And do they eat flakes? My clowns have been eating them for 11 months and are doing fine, what about these though?

The daimond goby will eat a variaty of food but depends on the SB.Whats the tank size and age and amount of LS?

Feeding any stock a mix a food from meaty to flake is best and 2 or 3 times a day smaller amounts.

Ah, thanks, guess im out of it, im not planning on having a SB, going bb, guess you awnsered my second question. Well, is there some sort of fish that kinda relaxes if you know what i mean? I like something like that. And about that cleaner shrimp, will it eat flakes?

14g biocube for tank size.

The yellow watchman gobie and a skunk cleaner will get along, My cleaner used to clean my gobies mouth all the time.

The cleaner shrimp will eat flake food and just about any other food that he can get his claws onto, Since the flake food is floating it may be difficult for hi to get it though.

Will a yellow watchman gobie go good in a 14 gallon biocube with out sand, or do they need it to live?

Most Gobies hang out. My brown Clown goby, my Green Clown goby, my Lawnmower... all hang out (the Brown and the LMB lie on top of each other quite often even). And my cleaner shrimp hangs upside down in a cave.

Cleaner shrimp will eat pretty much anything. I feed mine flake sometimes, but I hand him a large flake via tongs so I'm sure he gets some.

Yes, I have both (Yellow Watchman & Skunk Cleaner Shrimp), and a pistol shrimp paired up with my Yellow Watchman Goby, also, in my 55gal tank.
