Clean up crew

Hello RC question I have a 200 gal. tank I'm now ready to add the rest of my CUC, my question is can I have 2 fire shrimp in the same tank with 2 skunk shrimp i also want to add some feather dusters and maybe a couple of coco worms.I have not add any fish yet just a few snails. So what do you all think can this be done? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't add the coco worms until the tank has been going for a while. Same for the feather duster...

Ditto on the worms. For the shrimp though, my lfs told me it wasn't a good idea to mix different types of shrimp as some can get territorial. Two or three Skunks would be fine though.

Yes to the multiple shrimp, though I agree that I would wait on the feather dusters. At one point we had a pair of fire shrimp, a pair of cleaner shrimp, a pair of sexy shrimp, and one lone peppermint shrimp coexisting happily in our 75g. They each had their own niche in the tank, though everyone (except the sexys) came out at both feeding and tank cleaning time and clamored all over each other for food or to jump on my hand. No aggression whatsoever. I did my HW before adding them and I'm def not the only one who has kept this many together successfully!

I have a fire, a skunk, and a peppermint, and they all get along fine.

I have a fire and skunk, no issues.

I have 4 skunks, 2 fire and 4 peppermint in my 210 and they are all good together. The peppermint seem to all hang together under a rock, mostly upside down.
