fire or cleaner??

[AiredaleReef]

hey guys, my tank is now ready for new life...i have a 20 g long and was wondering if it would be smarter to get a cleaner shrimp before i get a fire shrimp? Or does it just go by preference? my water conditions are good and a bright red fire shrimp would look amazing! however i dont know if i need a cleaner shrimp first??? any advice would be great thanks

I don't think it matters. Fire shrimp still clean but not as much as the skunk. They also are a little bit more shy. After a couple weeks the Fire shrimp will start to come out a little more, but mine still stays back behind the rocks in my tank.

I don't know about cleaners, but I have a fire shrimp in my tank. As Echidna09 said, it was quite shy at first, but now it pretty much runs out in front of the rocks whenever my hand goes in the tank. It's cute.

He's even run to the glass if my hand is on it.
