God I love goby fish. They are hilarious as fuck. Had one in my salt water aquarium paired with a pistol shrimp and they were inseparable.

Pistol Shrimp and gobbies form a natural symbiotic relationship

The shrimp makes their home and the gobby protects it and catches food that the shrimp will eat the scraps of.

Nope but a mantis shrimp can. You need acrylic tanks for those.

Aren't these the same guys that got blown up by Scrat in Ice Age Collision Course when trying to evolve on Mars?

I didn't know they were real animals 😅
