Hey folks,
I have a 45 gallon hexagon tank (live rock, live sand), fully cycled. Currently, I am fish-less as I'm waiting out the starvation of an ick invasion which took the lives of my previous scaled inhabitants. Aside from a clean up crew, I currently have one cleaner shrimp and one fire shrimp.
I noticed a couple of small Aiptasia the other other day, and would like to get rid of them before (1) they mutlipy and (2) I re-add any fish. My question is: would adding a peppermint shrimp be too many shrimp in my size/shape tank? The Cleaner's body is about the size of a pinky from head to tail (not small for a shrimp), while the Fire is fairly small.
Naturally, when I do add fish, they won't be many and won't be large in size. Just wondering if the extra shrimp would be too many.[/i]
