Hey guys, I have an 85 Gallon tank and a little bit of an aptaisia problem, im lookin into gettin at least 1 peppermint shrimp to munch on some of that crap, anyway I already have a skunk cleaner in my tank thats pretty large, is it safe to put 1 or more peppermint in my tank or will that create a problem?
 
I had one cleaner and one peppermint the cleaner picked on the pepermint some but for the most part they got along. Until I got a condy anemone, To the peppermint thought that was lunch so I had to move him to another tank, so now I have a three gal. on my desk with a peppermint shrimp, a snail,and royal gramma.
 
My cleaner harassed a smaller peppermint i got to death.
Then ate him.
So as they say there is no guarantees
 
As Kabong stated, there are never any guarantees.

Also you need to realize that in an 85 gallon tank, you may never see the peppermint shrimp again. I have 3 in my 75 and it is very rare that I will see one of them and then it is only during the time that I have the moonlights on.

So, with a bigger tank, just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
