I have a 30g with plenty of LR a pair of clowns, a foxface, manderin Goby, and an cardinal. I have a coral banded, some hermits, snails and a bunch of corals. I really want to get a fireshrimp, but my wife likes the CB. What are the chances they can coexist in the tank?

In that small of tank....50/50...25/75.??? Not to be rude but foxfaces will readly outgrow that size tank.

what he said. as long as they dont cross paths at night or feeding when they do their roming and as long as the fire shrimp is fast and smart enough to not get caught could co-exist forever. the chances of that happening in a small tank is anybody's guess.

that fire shrimp dosnt stand a chance. i have a 265 gallon.. I had a coral banded with 3 cleaners 2 fire, and 5 pepermint shrimp and he took them all out. I finally caught him(he is now in the refugium). i have replaced the shrimp the everyone is happy

except maybe the coral banded. lol

+1 on the Foxface. It will quickly outgrow the 30 gallon. I have had 5 in my biocube so far and have had to take them in for credit after about 3-4 months. Bought them at around 2.5" and tooke them back at about 3.5".
Used them for Caulerpa control.
