Cleaner and peppermint shrimp? - Aquarium Advice

BBReef · 09-25-2003, 02:02 PM

are these two shrimp not compatable? i had two of each at one time, but now i only have two pepps. i know the pepps need meaty foods so i feed them 2-3 times a week. is this not enough? if anyone knows anything about them please advise. thanks

From what I know they are compatabile. I have a bunch of pepermints and a pair of fire shrimp in a 20 [acronym:ecf5e14130="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:ecf5e14130] tank and have not had problems with them. Cleaners are docile just like the fire shrimp so I dont see why there would be an issue.

The more areas you have for them to habatate in the less likely there would be major problems.

We have 2 cleaners & 2 peppermints, in a 180g. I've never heard of anyone having issues between the types, it is usually the Coral Bandeds that cause problems.
