shrimp?

[trigger reid]

what kinda shrimp could i put in with two percula clowns that wont eat blue leg hermits? in a 45 gal

You can put almost any shrimp (or multiple shrimp species) in your tank. The perculas and the blue leg hermits will both leave them alone (unless the shrimp dies - then the hermits would eat it).
Just stay away from a MANTIS shrimp.

i had a coral banded shrimp and it ate the crabs so i had to get rid of it

Yes, Corral Banded Shrimp are ussually the killers. Cleaner shrimp are nice and maybe a group of sexy shrimp would be cool too.

I have heard good things about the sexy shrimp, and they are so attractive!! The cleaners are always out and fun to feed by hand if you choose. I vote for either of them also.

I love my cleaner shrimp!

 

[fishguy4]

cleaner! does exactly what theyre named and are fun to watch

I've also got 2 cleaner shrimp, and as stated above they are a hoot to watch. I also have 3 monkey shrimp, the neatest thing about them is looking at the tank and seeing your "rock" move because they blend in perfectly with my live rock!

I would get a pair of the scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I love mine....very active and always out. They don't hide all the time like the blood cleaner shrimp people on here have described. I tried to keep the cleaners with the peppermints and the cleaners beat them up. I would not mix them. Lesley

pistols are cool too if you have a shrimp goby IMO

 

[rbmount]

I also have a pistol! He dosen't pay any attention to my goby,he has taken up shop with a curlique anemone.

 

[aarone]

my goby gets kiked out of the cave by my pistol....he just snaps and the goby is outta there!

[ozadars]

its probably because of the kind of the shrimp. All shrimp gobies dont pair w/ all pistols

 

[aarone]

yeah i know...it is a tiger pistol shrimp. It should pair with my goby (amblyleotris wheeleri) but un fortunately it doesnt. It may just take a longer time.

My Corral Banded does fine with everyone. He chases the cleaners sometimes, and tries to sneak up on them. but they are to fast. He ignores hermit crabs though.

Harlequins are cool. But they only eat starfish so you might not want one.
