Fish safe to keep with miniature shrimp?

[crailtap25]

Anyone keep miniature shrimp in their tank? I have a sexy shrimp, two spotted anemone shrimp and a Pederson anemone shrimp. I’m scared to put anything in there but the very peaceful fish, gobies blennnys which I don’t like very much. I like wrasses and active fish. Does anyone keep a small sixline with one of these shrimp? Maybe a tiny sixline would stay small in my 20g reef and leave it alone? I know there’s no guarantee 😬.

Saltwater fish do not have stunted growth because they are in a small tank. A six line has a good chance of eating your small shrimp as it grows.

I always thought clownfish would grow according to tank size?

nope...only fish I know of that grows according to tank size is the goldfish.

 

your 20 gal is big enough to house 2 clowns...if they pair, one will be about 4" and the other 2 - 3".

 

you should be able to have a shrimp goby and a pistol shrimp too. just make sure you space our your livestock so they take up the different area's...low/botom, mid and then upper water columns.

Also, I know you said you don’t like blennys, but look at a Midas blenny. Once they’re acclimated and used to the tank they hover in water column.

sixline will eat the shrimp. pretty much any wrasse will. try shrimp gobies.

My tail spot blenny is incredibly active swimming around, investigating what other tank mates are doing, watching me; he's probably my favorite fish 🙂
