Mixing a fire shrimp with a cleaner shrimp

[millepora]

I have a taste for both of these shrimp. I know that mixing multiple cleaner shrimp leads to trouble. I currently have a 65g, and would like to add one cleaner shrimp, and one fire shrimp to my tank. Anyone with experience to share?

In my 55 I have one of each, with no problems. I've had them for over 3 years.

I have 6 or 7 scarlet cleaners and 2 fire/blood shrimp and no problems. The fire shrimp stay hidden most of the time except at feeding time. the scarlet cleaners are quite aggressive to my hand when it comes to food but don't bother anything else.

I have one of each in my 60 gallon. I've heard it is best to introduce them at the same time which is what I did and I haven't had any problems at all.

Just like Noise mentioned, the fire shrimp stays hidden most of the time except at feeding time.

I say go for it, good luck!

I have one of each in my 29 and they each picked a side but otherwise get along well

How about a Peppermint with a Cleaner and a Fire shrimp?

I have two cleaner, two fire shrimp and one peppermint in my 90 gallon. They all have their own territories and don't seem to bother one another. Only the cleaner shrimp are out at all during the day.

worked out fine because peps are faster than either I had one once upon a time (got to fat and old)
