shrimp questions

[rayraypico]

in my 100 gal i now have 3 peppermint shrimp in it. i would like to add a few more shrimp of a different species into the tank. i have heard of some horror stories about adding coral banded and fire shrimp in as they become dominant and aggresive towards other bottom feeders.
can someone help me and give a couple of suggestions on what type of shrimp are ok to add and if they have had sucess with coral banded or fire shrimp with pepermint shrimp.
also could i add a coral banded and a fire shrimp together or would they just go at it.

If given enough room and territory you can keep CBS with other shrimp. I also have a 100 gal tank with two peppermint shrimp and I have a CBS with a cleaner shrimp and no problems.

I have 3 peppermints, 1 cleaner and 1 CBS and they all get along very well. But they were also all introduced together.
They do all have their own areas, though, and seldom visit each other.
