jack1978 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Is there a down side to adding all 3 types of shrimp to a 16 gallon tank? If you want to end up with only a coral banded, no downside. Corals look awesome...but they'll get nasty. Fires are pretty. ..but can be reclusive. Cleaners are funny and bold...awesome personality...for a shrimp. Link to comment

Tamberav Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The cleaner and fire may not tolerate each other in a small tank. Supposedly they do not get along but mine do fine in a 40 gallon although my cleaner would torment peppermints when I tried some. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 My darn cleaner always steals food from my LPS. So watchout for that Link to comment
pugmommie Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well, I'll let you know how they do. Right now they are both hiding in the back of the tank! Link to comment
pugmommie Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Cleaner shrimp seems to be a bit shy right now. He's off hiding somewhere. But the fire shrimp, he's mister personality Link to comment
