Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / August 2007Mixing Shrimp Species
Is it OK to put in a cleaner shrimp with 3 resident peppermint shrimp? I have a 30-gallon. The only other occupants are a watchman goby and a percula clown. Thanks. Maddie Yes that's fine. It's best not to mix a scarlet cleaner with a coral banded.

Either it makes it or it does not.go buy another, yuor in the most expensuive hobby inthe fish world so why worry about it................ I have a Coral Banded and a Cleaner Shrimp for over a year. Last week I added a peppermint but he's been hiding since. I assume they are getting along, but again I haven't seen the peppermint, just the other two. Peppermint and Cleaner shrimps are pacific. Coral Banded has a reputation for being aggressive, I seen him chasing my fish. Good Luck, Ruben > Is it OK to put in a cleaner shrimp with 3 resident peppermint shrimp? I > have a 30-gallon.

The peppermint shrimp is probably hiding. They do hide a lot. Though it's also possible that the banded shrimp ate the peppermint, though most likely it's just hiding because that is their nature.

[quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Yeppers, those peppermints are some sneaky suns of bitches just like old Wayne Sallee is......just can not trust a Coral Banded, they will form a hate grouop like Gill Passman and turn all your fish against you just to preach their cause like Gill does.......to promote moderated aquaria forums..as well as her hate group(s) That brings me to a questiion... I know you aren't suppose to mix coral banded shrimp with each other but I need to close down my nano tank and move my coral banded into my 75 gallon tank that has a coral banded also. Anybody know what the chances of both of these guys getting along or not getting along?

How about getting a container and putting holes in it, and put your shrimp from the other tank in that container and then put the container in the tank.

If you have a lot of rock in your 75 gallon tank, it might be possible to keep them both in, but I don't know how far apart they live in the wild. How much territory that they demand, is the key.

You would probably have to watch at night for this :-) Wayne Sallee Webmaster@LeesburgNazarene.org Susan wrote on 8/13/2007 11:08 PM: > Thanks Wayne for the info...

My coral bandeds only come out when the lights are off. That may be an option also.
