what pistol is most likely to pair with my goby?

Randall's Pistol Shrimp or any other small variety (Randall's is best looking IMO).

S. nematodes are little guys. Little guys go with little shrimp.

Little guy with big shrimp = no more little guy.

ok thanks
randalls do look the best
and they small
so ill go with one of them

what site is best for ordering inverts and fish?

Randall's should be fine.

I would imagine they will pair quickly in a 10g.

highfin redstripe goes with the candy cane pistol shrimp. Beware if you have an easy way out of the tank: both of mine sumpdived and I have not found them since.
