bdr127 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I was wondering if it would be too crowded in a 15H tank to have 2 peppermint shrimp. They are both in my 90g that I'm breaking down and would like to move them to their new home. Any comments? Thanks. Link to comment
skeletor Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I have 3 in a 20gal and they seem fine, they share the tank with a coral banded shrimp. rich. Link to comment
LakerFan Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 You should be fine with 2 peps in a 15h. I had 2 going in my 15 until I added my clowns. Who knew that cinnamon clowns liked to attack my shrimp. They were picking them off the rocks and just harassing the heck out of them, until they couldn't be found anymore. Skeletor - I'm surprised to hear that you have 3 peps with a CB. CB's are notorious for killing anything it can catch. How long have you had them there? Link to comment
skeletor Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hey LakerFan, The peppers have been in there a week and are just starting to come out during the day a bit more. The CBS is the old man of the tank, been in there over a year now, and he used to share it with a skunk. I got the CBS when he was a little baby.. The peppers are in there to eat aiptasia ( I hope :-) skeletor Link to comment
sjpresley Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 If the CBS doesn't eat the peps when they molt, I'll be very surprised. Hopefully, they'll get to work on the Aiptasia quickly. Link to comment
The Unit Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 i have 2 large CBS[mated-expecting this week] in my 15 HIGH Link to comment
skeletor Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I hope he won't eat them, he was living with a skunk cleaner shrimp for over a year and never one fight and the skunk molted about every 6 weeks.... skeletor Link to comment
