Pistol And Coral Banded Shrimps

[RobHimself]

I already have a CBS in my 45 but I would like to add a Pistol Shrimp. I want to see if he will become a friend of my Bullet Goby (since they pair up with most Gobies). I think he's cool anyway. My CBS is not the stereotypical type. He's not aggressive and doesn't bother anything in my tank. Could they be put together?

is it a 45litre or 45gallon tank?

banded coral shrimp will try to eat small pistol shrimp.
Big pistol shrimp might argue with the coral shrimp. Try it and see what happens. they should be fine if the tank is 45gallons. Maybe not if it is 45litres.

The pistol shrimp will defend itself against any shrimp at all. I don't think that the coral banded shrimp could kill a pistol shrimp either. Try it if you like. Your gonna see some fighting thou.
