Shrimp; Who can be with who?

[walynut]

Heres the short of it;
I currently have a skunk shrimp in my 55 gal w/ 100 lbs LR tank BUT the wife wants a coral banded shrimp AND the daughter wants a fire shrimp.
I think the coral banded is the bad arse of the bunch but what do you guys know in regards

I have all 3 living in my 90g peacefully together. I wouldn't recommend it but you could easily mix fire shrimp, skunk cleaners and peppermint shrimp.

I dont know but I have a banded and a fire shrimp in my 90 as we speak and they seem to keep to themselves.
Could be one of those majical things where things that dont work work but they have been in there over a month so

All of the Lysmata species of cleaner shrimps are compatible with each other with a caveat - large shrimp will eat tiny shrimp so keep them similar in size.
Lysmata sp. are on the menu of Coral Banded Shrimp. It usually takes several years for a Coral Banded to get large enough to eat cleaner shrimp but eventually it will happen.
