Weird. Mine lives peacefully with two other cleaner shrimp and has never been even a little bit mean to any of my other fish... maybe I got lucky?

This has been something that is debated.
I personally wont add a CBS to a tank because I like so many other kinds that all get along. in the little 65 I have all sorts EXCEPT a CBS.
In very large tanks is easier for each shrimp to stick to thier respective turf without fighting but its still risky. Many have managed to keep CBS with other shrimp but I personally think its just a matter of time before the CBS finds and kills all other shrimp in the tank.
Something very cool about mated pairs of CBS is when they bond, they will take turns molting and stand gaurd over each other when the othe ris building its new exo. When I learned that I thought that was cool that they have each others back like that.
Still little

, but cool
Sorry about the expensive meal yours had.

I actually seen plenty of peaceful ones, sometimes for long perods but by large its still risky and I stay by my opinion of them being little monsters.

I've had mine for over two years with two different cleaners, he tries to grab them if they go by but is way too slow, I've had more problems with the cleaners eating tankmates than him, just depends on the shrimp. Same with crabs, some good forever some destructive monsters.
