Unless it is a mated pair, you are asking for trouble. These shrimp just don't seem to like their own kind!!

I am not sure how they are paired up. People have kept two in larger tanks before without issues though. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it can work if they each have a good amount of territory.

Would his odds be better in a 30 gallon tank with a blue spot puffer? or the 75 gallon with the other established coral banded shrimp?
personally i say he have mroe chance with the other shrimp because puffers love shrimp and that be a 20 dollar meal for him.

Why cant you have two coral banded shrimp's in the same tank? Lets say a 75 gallon with 80 pounds of rock.
I personally wouldn't, have you thought about maybe a fireshrimp or skunk?

Your puffer would be so happy with his new and short-lived friend. By that I mean the puffer will eat your shrimp.

My 2 CBS in my 90 never fight. I assume they are a "mated pair". I caught them together and have never had a problem with them. They actually stay right next to each other all the time.
