Shrimp mix

[xxchris060]

Right now i have a coral banded shrimp in a 55g tank and i want to add a few peppermint shrimp. Should i have a problem with mixing them.

it just depends on your shrimp. many people have both that are fine, however many people also have cbs, and whenever they try to introduce a new one its killed. buy your ticket take your chances, adn good luck

would it help if i put more than two peppermint shrimp in at one time..

it wouldnt hurt. what size tank do you have? if its a large tank and the cbs usually hangs around one area, tryintroducing the peps to the opposite area, they will at least have a better shot!
good luck

I had a cbs in my 80gl with a cleaner. The cbs was very small at first, but when he got bigger he shredded the cleaner and started to get mean with my hermits.
