Cleaner Shrimp & Fire Shrimp

[Waterbury Guy]

I currently have two cleaner shrimp and one fire shrimp, and have had them about 4-5 months. The cleaners are out ALL the time, the Fire only at feeding time (and he/she's only done this for the past month, before that almost never came out). I understand shrimp are more active in pairs. My question is would it be OK to add another Fire, or would they not like each other becuase they have been introduced at different times, and is this too many shrimp for my system? Thanks!

When I went by the LFS yesterday (new fish and coral on wednesdays!) they had 3 fire shrimp in the same tank. Maybe it was just 2?? Anyways, there was more than one. One was picking through the caulerpa and the other hanging out right in front, not together though, but they just came in that day too. I would say go for it. HTH
