Can ya have too many shrimp?

[austinsdad]

I'd like to have 5 skunks, 5 blood red, and 10 peppermint in a 75g. Hardly ever see the peppermint any way, but I'd hope to never see any aptasia either. Otherwise the other shrimp, perched all over the rocks is so cool to me. Other than having enuf food to go around for them, the fish and the hermits, is there a problem having too many shrimp in a tank?

If all seem to be getting along now that won't really change any time soon. They do not add to the bioload so the main consideration is territorial aggression. I would be careful on adding any more though, you might just upset an otherwise "balanced peace".
