Peppermint Shrimp vs. Cleaner

[Deberber]

I have a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp in my 29 biocube and was wondering if a peppermint shrimp is ok to put in.

they may fight a bit but as long as they are getting scraps to feed on they shouldn't kill each other

+1 just make sure the shrimps are all similar in size

Alright thanks.

I think mine was unusual, but I had a skunk cleaner hunt down and eat a peppermint after both had been in my 40B less than 2 days. It then started chasing after the second peppermint and was removed. So be mindful, especially at first. FWIW, that cleaner also picked up snails and fondled them in rather suspicious ways.
