want more shrimp

[slappy]

well im not getting anymore fish for the 20gal, i have 1 small cbs and 2 small peppermint, but i want to get 1 cleaner and 1 bloodred shrimp. Is this to many shrimp for a 20 gallon? do shrimp go as the same inch per gallon that fish do or is it safe to have 5 shrimp in a 20 gallon tank ( guess im kinda a shrimp nut..lol) thanks

You might be able to but CBS are very aggressive and territorial towards other shirmp and in a 20 gal there isn't enough space for all those shrimp, if you got rid of the CBS you could get the others but as long as he's in there I wouldn't put in any more shimrp. JMO
