How many shrimp in a 5 1/2 gallon?

I have a peppermint who has been great, but he hides all the time. I was thinking of adding a cleaner or two. Do you think by adding two I would be over my "shrimp threshold" in my little tank?

 

Thanks.

Peps IMO look crap. :) They are useful to remove aiptasia, but they can nip other corals too.

 

Cant you get rid of the Pep and buy a nice cleaner shrimp? Mine stays out all the time, anytime I go near the tank it comes next to the glass or swims right to the surface.

 

It also comes into my hand to look for food when I am cleaning the tank.

 

Very fun to watch too.

I agree, how about returning the peppermint or exchange for a skunk cleaner. These guys never hide and aren't shy at all.

That is what I probably will do. I feel bad though, the peppermint has served me well by ridding my tank of the few aiptasia that stowed away on my LR....I will probably add just one cleaner, they should get along...
