A mix of Shrimp?

[speakerfish]

I'm still trying to decided which fish to put in my 20 Gal, I figured I could do a pair of something like clowns, gobis, etc.... Anyway here is my question, I would like to add a cleaner shirmp or two, I really like the Pepermint shirmp, can I/should I add another? Maybe a Gold band or something else.....thougths??

Pepperment sounds pretty good. And inexepensive too.

should be fine but i heard CBSes can fight with other things.............or at least so ive herd.............

In that small of a tank I wouldn't put a cbs and any other shrimp together. If you have a big tank then the cbs is usually ok. You can however put a couple of cleaners in there. In my 37 gal, soon to be 58 gal, I have two peppermint, one cleaner, and one blood red fire shrimp. They all get along fine, I'm even considering getting another blood shrimp to see if it might make it a little more comfortable to come out of his hole more often. HTH.

I'm thinking maybe I'll just do the Pepermint for now, I hope to have larger tank when I move in about 6 months. Looking for a 75 or larger, gonna start buying stuff now for it to help offset the cost. Thanks for all the advice all! Happy Holidays!

Remember that peppermint shrimp usually hide all the time. On the other hand my scarlet cleaner shrimp are out front all the time.

Cleaners are alot more fun to watch plus they clean your fish too. Peppermint hide all time expect to feed on brine. If your only going to get one then the cleaner get my vote. Salty Star

Re: shrimp
Can you have more than one red banded shrimp together?
Thanks
