Two fire shrimp ok?

[cgj]

I just got a new fire shrimp today and I must say he is very handsome... I know fire shrimp are aggresive and usually attack other types of shrimp, but are two fire shrimp ok? I read somewhere that if you get two they pair up and become a mated pair due to the hemophroditic nature and will be much more active and happier. If I get a positive response on this, I'll probably pick up another next week.

I have fire shrimp, peppermint shrimp, and cleaner shrimp and they all live happily together. As a matter of fact the fire shrimp is one of the most docile and shy inhabitants of my tank.
