I've got 1 CBS
1 Cleaner
2 Peppermints
The CBS will chase the cleaner once in a while but they move well

most of the time they will kill other shrimp, but on rare occasions they will be fine with other shrimps, i heard someone say that is you get a CBS when its small and add other shrimp that when it gets bigger it will leave the other shrimp alone or you can buy a matted pair

I have a pair of CBS, by accident but they don't seem to bother the Skunk. I have a couple of pepermints that live behind the overflow box on the side of the tank. I assume that has something to do with self preservation.
