Mixing Shrimp Species

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

Yes that's fine. It's best not to mix a scarlet
cleaner with a coral banded.

They all taste the same when cooked with shrimp boil
spices...........hell its only a god dam shrimp whats the big fuss
about. Either it makes it or it does not.go buy another, yuor in the
most expensuive hobby inthe fish world so why worry about
it................

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

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.

Yeppers, those peppermints are some sneaky suns of bitches just like
old Wayne Sallee is......just can not trust a Coral Banded, they will
form a hate grouop like Gill Passman and turn all your fish against
you just to preach their cause like Gill does.......to promote
moderated aquaria forums..as well as her hate group(s)

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

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.

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.

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.
