Fishkeeping - Mixing Shrimp Species

Yea, I see what your saying. My coral bandeds only come out when the lights
are off. That may be an option also.

Thanks again,
Susan

You could also use the container method and put it in an area of the tank
where you think the other might not bother it, and then see if it tries to
attack it through the container. You would probably have to watch at night
for this :-)

Thanks Wayne for the info... I have a lot of live rock in the tank so I
may try to "very carefully" easy the nano coral banded shrimp into the
tank.

And then if you are not going to reset up another tank, you could take
the shrimp to your lfs and trade it in for store credit. If you have a
lot of rock in your 75 gallon tank, it might be possible to keep them
both in, but I don't know how far apart they live in the wild. How much
territory that they demand, is the key.

If one is a male, and one is a female, then your chances would probably
be good, but if both are males, then you could have a problem. How
about getting a container and putting holes in it, and put your shrimp
from the other tank in that container and then put the container in the
tank.

That brings me to a questiion... I know you aren't suppose to mix
coral banded shrimp with each other but I need to close down my nano
tank and move my coral banded into my 75 gallon tank that has a coral
banded also. Anybody know what the chances of both of these guys
getting along or not getting along?

Thanks--Susan :)

Yea, often people can keep scarlet cleaner shrimp with coral banded
shrimp, but it is a risk.

The peppermint shrimp is probably hiding. They do hide a lot. Though
it's also possible that the banded shrimp ate the peppermint, though
most likely it's just hiding because that is their nature.

I have a Coral Banded and a Cleaner Shrimp for over a year. Last
week I
added a peppermint but he's been hiding since.
I assume they are getting along, but again I haven't seen the
peppermint,
just the other two.

Peppermint and Cleaner shrimps are pacific. Coral Banded has a
reputation
for being aggressive, I seen him chasing my fish.

Good Luck,

Ruben

Is it OK to put in a cleaner shrimp with 3 resident peppermint
shrimp? I
have a 30-gallon. The only other occupants are a watchman goby and
a
percula clown.

Thanks.
