What the title says.

I am considering getting an engineer goby in the future, but just read that they may eat ornamental shrimp. Has anyone had any issues?

I saw a goby eat feeder fish the other day. I wouldn't be surprised if any large goby made a meal out of something small (and expensive :angry .)

I dont know if they will eat them, but they will kind of grab them and toss them out of their hole. I lost a pair of firefish this way. And I think I lost a bicolor this way as well. They do not like things around their whole.. and they get quite big.

and make the most PIA mess you ever seen. Mine does not like my Yellow watchman gobie any where in the tank.

I have a 5inch engineer goby in my tank here at school and he live in harmony with 1 cleaner and 3 peppermint shrimp.
