skunk cleaner shrimp

[flyguy7150]

Anyone know what store has em?? Also can you have more than one in a tank? Or maybe a skunk and a fire blood shrimp in the same tank??

most stores carry them and yes you can have more than 1 in a tank or with a blood shrimp

You should have atleast two so they will go with eggs

I cannot keep skunk cleaners in either of my tanks, they get eaten (the one in my avatar was killed by a neon dottyback shortly after it molted). Fire (blood) shrimp have fared better, since they tend to hide in the rocks. In my 55, a large peppermint shrimp routinely cleans one of the Anthias. The first time I saw it, I thought the fish was dead and the peppermint was eating it. The fish was belly up and the shrimp was holding it. Weird.

I have three skunks, a peppermint and a fire shrimp. The fire shrimp seems to bully all the other shrimps, but they manage to get out of each others way. the skunks and pepermints will be fine with anybody that wont eat them!
