Too many crabs?

I have a 40 gal tank, LS & LR. When I got the tank it only had 3 or 4 bluelegs in there. I just bought 10 blueleg, 10 hawaiin zebra, 10 scarlet and 5 peppermint shrimp from this site. Am I overdoing it?

I personally stay away from having very many crabs and keep mostly snails, but I think you have way too many. I think they are going to start killing each other for shells. Putting extra shells in the tank might help some, but with that many it still might occur.

Lionfish ... The blue legs have a "mild" temper ... The scarletts are peaceful as heck ... Blue legs are a little more aggressive in finding new shells and eating before the scarlets. Go with scarlets it your going to get any :)

Mild?? Everytime I looked in my tank they were either fighting with each other, harassing a scarlet, or eating one of my snails. They're mean, if you ask me... :yes:
