I've got a 30 gallon with 2 cleaner shrimp, I'm wondering if anyone's kept cleaners with fire shrimp do they fight, would my tank be too small for all 3?
 
The short answer is maybe. From what I've been able to gleam, it comes down to having enough territory for each. That being said, I found numerous examples of cohabitation in smaller and larger tanks.
 
I've got multiple fire shrimp with my cleaner and no issues ever. Fire shrimp are cryptic. Cleaner out 24. 7
 
I know fire shrimp can get really territorial if they're established in a tank and you add other shrimp, mine got super mad at the two little peppermints I added (she seems to be slowly chilling out about them), but I know less about the reverse situation.

I have the two together with no issue
