Shrimps

[statto]

Hello all,
My tank has just finished its initial cycle (approx 2 months)
Im looking at getting a couple of shrimp varieties
I like the look of a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
and a Fire Shrimp (Lsymata Debelius)
My question is, are these shrimp happy on their own or do I need to buy 2 of each?
Cheers
Statto
P.S. Its a 90Gal tank

Google
Cleaner Shrimp
About 1/2 way down the page look for the link to wet web media. Good information there and a number of links to other info on shrimp.

Well done on having patience and waiting for the cycle to complete rather than loading it with an anemone and clowns and damsels and a mandarin goby thinking "eh it will be ok"

patience is something that not a lot of people have. and i applaud you!

either of these shrimp are fine on on their own, or in groups. Fire shrimp can be territorial to their own kind in a small tank
