Why would you want him in your 'fuge? For $20 a shirmp, I want him in my display tank, not the 'fuge.

i would'nt put a 20.00 shrimp in my sump either. put a peppermint in there. i dont really know if he would go after your pods. good question!

Mine, probably would. He's the biggest animal in my tank. Even bigger than my fish! But he's very active and keeps my Aptasia under control, so I'm keeping him for sure.

I was just wondering if I can add a smaller cleaner to my tank with the larger peppermint. I haven't heard either one of these shrimp "attacking" anything so I'm almost certain it's a "go", but I was just double checking.

I have two skunk cleaners with my Pep without any issues.
