Shrimp compatibility?

[ladybug5234]

I currently have a skunk cleaner shrimp and a blood shrimp in my 144 half circle tank. Originally there was the blood all by himself, then I put in 2 cleaners and somehow one vanished. They live in separate parts of the tank and generally dont cross paths.

In the tank purchase I made recently there were a pair of coral banded shrimp that I really like. They are currently in my frag tank. Tomorrow I am tearing down my 144 to re-scape it all in order to fit some new corals in. I was wondering if I could add the 2 CB shrimp or if they would all fight. Another option is to take out whomever will not get along, and place them in the frag tank instead.

What do you guys recommend (preferably from experience, although I understand all creatures, even those of the same species, are different)?

I have a skunk cleaner shrimp, a blood shrimp and a coral banded shrimp in my 180 with no problems. They do not avoid each other and there is no aggression when they cross paths.

problems usually only occure in small tanks where hidding spots and territories are limited.

i have had a coral banded and cleaner shrimp in my 58g for the longest time. they never really fight so to speak, but the coral banded is a very agressive shrimp. they have been known to atack fish and other inverts. the coral banded will show signs of agresion sooner or later.

In my experience all shrimp have gotten along without any fighting and ill bet that the one cleaner shrimp that disapeared was just an unfortunate casualty and not from aggression from the fire shrimp.
