Compatability between Coral Banded, Peppermint and Cleaner Shrimp
I have 2 Peppermint Shrimp and 1 Coral Banded Shrimp in my 120G Reef. I am interested in adding 1 or 2 Cleaner Shrimp. Should I be concerned about compatability between these shrimp. Also are there any negitives with adding Cleaner Shrimp which I should be aware of? Many thanks.

I believe all three of those shrimp are peaceful. You can get 1 or 2. They can live alone or with another shrimp. I haven't heard anything bad about them. They love to clean and will setup cleaning stations for your fish.

I've got all three and they all do fine together. I actually just added the cleaner shrimp to my 55 gallon with the peppermint and coral banded. I was mainly concerned about the coral banded as he is a giant monster! But none of them even seem to notice each other...so long story short...I've been fine. Good luck |

everyone was fine until the CB wanted to move to a new location. he killed most of the shrimp in my tank, not sure why unless it was a territory thing..

Got a pair of Coral Banded, a pair of Cleaner and numerous peppermints.
The peppermints p+****d me off the most recently, they ate a dozen feather dusters on a new rock I got. Other than that they don't bother each other. |
