Peppermint Shrimp and Fire Shrimp

[skinless85]

I have 2 Peppermints and my LFS just got some Fire shrimp in and i was wondering if these will be ok with eachother. I have a 29g Biocube and ive seen other threads on here about CB and peppermints and Cleaner shrimp with peppermints but nothing about Fire and Peppermints. Any help would be appreciated.

They'll be just fine. I have them together with no problems... even have a 4 year old CB shrimp that doesn't bother the peppermints or fire shrimp but it's in a 90 and the coral banded shrimp keeps to himself and no one really bothers him.

All of the Cleaner Shrimp species are compatible with each other as long as they are all about the same size.

Sounds good...thanks!

Would 2 Peppermints, a fire shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp be too much for my tank? Almost 5 weeks in and the cycle seems to be finished. My CUC as of right now is...
8 Astrea/Turbos
5 Red Legged Hermits
3 Nassarius
2 Peppermints
2 Emeralds
Peppermints destroyed my aiptasia the first night they were in there

I HAVE ONE PEPERMINT SHRIMP AND A FIRESHRIMP IN A 34 GALLON TOGETHER THEY DO JUST FINE

As long as it's at least a 10 gallon tank that's not too much.

Shrimp are very sensitive to amonia so make sure your cycle is complete and amonia = 0. Don T.
