I can't speak to the rest, but my CBS constantly chases my cleaner. He ate one of the ones that I had, but he didn't acclimate that well. THis one is very active and keeps an eye out for him.

the coral bannded shrimp will kill the cleaner shrimp.

now you just have to choose

i have coral banded and cleaner together for over a year and the only time the cbs even bothers the cleaner is when he gets close to his area and then only chases him away...

No way I would do it. Unfortunately I've lost 3 cleaners to a CBS before I realized who the culprit was when I finally caught him in the act

CBS can be weird...i know people who have kept them with cleaner shrimp for a year or two then one morning they wake up and the CBS is having the cleaner for a snack. i think in a 100g you would stand a better chance of them living together. but just warning, the CBS are very territorial!

I had a CBS, a cleaner and a fire shrimp all in my last tank with no problems. I bought a pair of CBS last weekend and put in my new tank because I liked them so much.

oh i also have peppermints in mine....but i'm sure its like questionable fish, some are good and some are a terror....good luck

Thanks for all the help.

That is a big enough tank to have both the cbs and cleaner shrimp together. The cleaner shrimp has enough room to stay away from the cbs.

I have had my CBS since i first started my reef in a 20 gall 2 years ago. The tank has since been upgraded 4 times and now he is in a 125 gal reef. I also have 3 pepermins and Cleaner shrimp. Never have had problems. BUt hmm for some reason every time i buy a 30 dollar fish it disappears after a week. but my 3 dollar damsels are still kickin cant get rid of them. hehe
