Will a Coral Banded shrimp and a Cleaner shrimp both get along in a 75g?

Looking to add one, wondering if it will work out.
Thanks

It is hard to say, during the day my cbs usually occupied a space of about 10gal or so. At night however was a completely different story. My cbs OWNED the rest of the tank and made my peppermints hang out near the foam fractionator. I have also wrote on this forum that this cbs plucking a healthy damsel right out of the water column and then ate him along with its mate i purchased it with. It probably goes againt my better judgement, but I might try it if I had a bigger tank than then one I had, which you do. Also I would make sure that the cleaner, the more expensive on is larger. finnally I would do a little reef scaping perhaps seperate the shrimps by a trench or a lenght of sand.

Mine have done okay in a 70g for a few months, but I'm nervous, so will be extracting the cb shrimp

I've got a cleaner, pair of CBS and 13 peppermints in my 90..

They all do well.. But they sure get out of the way when the CBS are on the move at night time...

my cbs has killed two cleaner shrimp, a fire red blood shrimp, and chases my fish. In my experience they are very aggressive and will kill anything they can catch

I kept both for over 3 years in a 55g. The CB never bothered my cleaner, BUT did try to eat every fish in the tank!

I have two CBs in two separate tanks, both with cleaners, camels, peppermints, and bloods. Both CBs show "line of sight" agression - if they come around the corner and see another shrimp, they spread their claws and chase them. However, the shrimp are smart enough to leave town, and the CB stops after about six inches or so. No issues so far.

I have two cleaners and a coral banded in a 75. The cleaners usually stay on one side while the banded stays on the other. Even when they cross territories they have never bothered each other.

I've had CBS's in the past few tanks I've had... they are notoriously aggressive and WILL kill any smaller animals they can get a hold off.. either fish or other inverts.... bank on it

A Cleaner shrimp and several Peppermint shrimp didn't last a day in my 55G with my Coral Banded Shrimp. He killed them all. He's even been seen trying to steal food from my Snowflake Eel!

In a large enough tank you should be fine. I know people who have 2 cleaners and two coral bandits in a 90g tank.....

Buyer be extremely " BEWARE " before putting one in your tank..
