Shrimps

[slm32123]

I am setting up the 75 gallon within a couple weeks here, I have a cleaner shrimp and a couple peppermints, would it be possible to get a fire shrimp as well, or will it and the cleaner fight?

I've got about 10 peppermints and 2 cleaners, I'm also thinking about adding 2 fire shrimp. I've heard/read conflicting things about them being peaceful with other shrimp or them being overly aggressive.

I'd be interested in hearing other peoples experiences as well.

I've had fire shrimps mixed with cleaners before, with no issues at all.

Normally,you can mix different types of shrimp with no problems.BUT,This IS saltwater,so figure 50/50.

Your tank is big enough for both to co-exist.

I have had one of each in my 60 gal for over 5 months with no problems. The fire shrimp hung out on the back for a long while, like 3 + months, but is now staying in the front much more. They will both take food from my hands, and are very nice and colorful in the tank.
