Default Mixing Shrimp Species

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.

Maddie
