Shrimp agression

[traderiain]

Does anyone have any information on shrimp species agression? ie Can you put two or three different species of shrimp in the same tank without worry of them getting along ? Does any species prefer to be paired?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you, in advance.

The only shrimp I would advise against when it comes to mixing different shimp species is the coral banded. They can be very aggressive. I have skunk cleaners, fire and sexy shrimp all together in the same tank. They will co-exist. It's the CBB's that you need to watch out for.

Yes, the CBS is the only one that I had heard of. thanks for the info.

Saron shrimp can also be very aggressive. I put one in with an arrow crab and he tore the arrow crab apart in less than a minute after being introduced to the tank.

You will definately regret on camel shrimp and/or coral banded shrimp. They are polyp murderers.

Strange? What kind of a pistol? My Tiger will defend his burrow and toss whatever enters it out (except his goby friend) but heââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s definitely not a killer.
