Hey guys if any one remembers I was going to be getting a 65 gallon tank over the winter however I was not able to move into my new place where I will be setting up the tank so I had to wait, but am now getting ready to move again and that means I finally get to start my tank!
Anyways i was wondering if a Tiger Pistol Shrimp and a Cleaner Shrimp will get along? I thought i have seen them together or at least Pistol Shrimp and other shrimp in the same tank, however this youtube video seems to show otherwise, and cool video none the less!

the shrimp in the video is called a caribbean pistol shrimp...the tiger pistol shrimp is much more docile and will usually get along with other shrimps..i've had a tiger pistol shrimp with a fire shrimp and a couple peppermint shrimps with no problems for about 9 months now.....

I have had 2 tigers with other shrimps (seperate tanks) and a non-tiger variety pistol with other shrimp and have never had problems. Sometimes the shrimp will drag hermits into it's lair but I think because he wants the shell, not dinner....I usually see them exit a minute or two later.

lol
my tiger does the same thing, with snails also.
i think he uses them as walls and doors.
whats funny is he seems to get real mad when they take off.
