    Great video that, never tire of seeing it. From my experience I had my pistol in with various different shrimps without an issues, there's always a slight risk though that it could take out other shrimp but that's the chance you take. A lot of people keep them with cleaners etc without issues.

    I have a pistol shrimp in both my reef and seahorse tanks and they live alongside peppermint and cleaner shrimps without any issues. I also have a harlequin shrimp that sometimes parades past a pistol's burrow and he doesn't bother with it. They are all well fed though.
