shrimp issues

[lil' tanker]

in a 20g would it be ok to have a cleaner shrimp and some peppermint shrimp together?

 

[lil' tanker]

it's important because I'm starting a 20g and trying to figure out what livestock to get

 

[lil' tanker]

any advice would be greatly appreciated

 

[thereefer9]

they would be fine.

Yea you can mix most cleaner shrimp together, the only exception i could think of would be the coral banded shrimp.

Yep, I'd put a cleaner, a peppermint, and a fire shrimp.

 

[lil' tanker]

thanks that sounds cool

i have a cleaner and a pep in a 12g.

 

[lil' tanker]

that's cool hey I went to an LFS today and I saw this coral banded shrimp was like picking on peppermints was it just that one shrimp or does that always happen?

i have three peppermints in my 14g and i had a skunk shrimp, the shrimp seemed to be bossing the peppermints around but after i got back from labor day camping weekend shrimpi was lieng on the sandbed

. Poor guy. But the mixed well for a week.

For shrimp I think you should do one cleaner, a couple peppermint, and 2 sexy shrimp.

can you mix peppermint and camelback?

 

[lil' tanker]

I might do what Mike22 suggested it sounds like a good mix I think

here is my plan for my 14g nano. 1 skunk, 3 peppermint, 3-5 sexy, 1 harlequin (def my fav invert and probably will have wait a while before i get one)

 

[lil' tanker]

thanks that sounds like an awesome 14g list!!

camelbacks arent good in the reef. they will eat corals. Harlequin need to be fed starfish only, which may cause a problem. I have a cleaner, adn 2 pepps inmy 24.
