Banded Coral shrimp

[GeorgeW]

Does anyone have any details about shrimp interaction? I did some searching but can't find any definitive stuff besides same-species interaction.

I have a mated pair of bandeds (probably my favorite thing I've ever kept. had to give away the old pair with the old setup), but I was wondering if I could keep a cleaner around them or if they'd fight like they do when you have 2 un-mated bandeds.

I went to the aquarium last Tuesday. If anyone hasn't been on a bright sunny day, it really is extra spectacular under sunlight. Especially the tunnel.

Them should do fine with other shirmp. The other will just run away from them since the smaller shimrp are faster, or it just that my banded shirmp never really chase them down.

I have 1 Banded shirmp in with 2 clearner shirmp and 4 peper shirmps in my tank and they all got alone.

I have a banded, a fire, a cleaner, and 2 camel shrimp. All seem to do ok together. The banded has his area and no one is allowed to come near, including fish. The cleaner shrimp has his little cleaning station, the fire stays hidden mot of the time except for feeding time and I rarely see the camels except fro when the lights first come on. BTW this is all in a 55 so a huge tan is not needed to keep them in. The banded will raise their claws at anything that comes near and chase them away, but that is about as much interaction as I have ever seen.
