Coral Banded Shrimp

[the_bandit]

I need to know if it is ok to mixed a couple of Coral Banded Shrimp with a Cleaner Shrimp. I have a very large Bristle worm infestation (I know they are good and beneficial, I just need to reduce the population) Will the 2 species of shrimp fight or be territorial or are they ok?
And can I only have one CBS in the tank or more?
I have a 55g tank

With the coral banded unless you buy a true!!!!! mated pair, you can have only one. One will kill the other if not a mated. Either by stress or injury. I have had my coral banded and my cleaner in the tank for over 7 months. They dont get alone but the cleaner is just a lot faster than the coral banded. The cleaner can go places the coral banded cant go.

The coral banded and cleaner will be fine
together but you will only be able to get one coral banded shrimp unless you can find a mated pair.

I have 3 cleaners and 1 CB and there's no problem. They all over the tank, though the CB and cleaners tend to keep their distance from one another.

Mine do as well. They will pass by each other now and then but typically they hang on opposite ends of the tank.
