The skunk cleaners are much more reliable as cleaners than the blood shrimp, but they will live together just fine.

awesome, I'm so happy I can get them in together. Now when I pick should I try to get 1 the same size as the blood shrimp or a bit bigger. I don't wanna get 1 too small and then it gets its asses handed to him and my tank starts stressin out I will keep you guys posted I'm on my way.

Same size would be best.

Well I ended up picking 1 up yesterday at the LFS and he was a nice size...when i put him in the tank he went straight to work....what was awesome was that my Blood shrimp was in hiding and yesterday he came out all day and hung out with his new buddy....so everything went well
