Shrimp question

[justthewife]

Can a Harlequin shrimp and a Banded Coral shrimp live peacefully together in a 90 gal.?

I'm far from an expert but I have a Banded shrimp also in a 90gallon. I was told a cleaner shrimp would get along with it just fine. The cleaner shrimp was dead within a few days.

Coral Banded Shrimp are predators! Do not be fooled-lol. I wouldn't trust it

thanks! We were thinking of getting the Harlequin to get rid of Asterina Starfish. Those things are a menace. Plus those shrimp are so dang cute, :lolspin:

I wish I could get the Coral Banded Shrimp out of my tank! I want a cleaner shrimp, much cooler!

They are definite crowd pleasers. Had my niece & nephew in town for Xmas. I let them out their hands in the tank and the cleaners came out and jumped on board. They're like little puppy dogs, eager to please.

I LOVE flame hawk fish, but they are predators too. Gotta pick and choose what you want because not everybody plays nice.

I'm not sure I've ever heard anything nice about coral bandeds, other than they are pretty.

You can make a trap to get him out.
