shrimp

I have a coral banded shrimp in my 90. Can I also get a fire shrimp or will the coral banded kill it?

will probably be just fine, CB's tend to not get along with each other, but i've kept them with other cleaners without trouble.

90 is prob. big enough that they can co exist

50/50 shot IMO. I had a 75 with a CB and skunks and fire shrimp... after a while the shrimp started disappearing one by one and I noticed the CB was rather large.

$0.02

I have a Coral Banded Shrimp(quite large)and a Skunk cleaner together in a 90.The CBS will make threatening moves at the cleaner if it comes too close.But there's no way the CBS is going to catch the cleaner shrimp.CBS tend to just mill around at night and hide out most of the day.

Thanks everyone...I'm gonna attempt it.

Guess I was the lucky person to inherit the meanist CB there is then. Mine killed all my snail and hermits..tried to catch my fish..must say was banished to my sump when I upgraded tanks..

and that pretty much sums up cb's - either it will be no problem at all or it will taste really good with some butter and lemon.....(just kidding)(use cocktail sauce lol)

How true,

Mine is so docile she'll actually clean my coral beauty and sometimes the Lawn mower blenny.I keep her well fed with silversides and cut up shrimp.She'll also eat formula 2.
