Cleaner shrimp

[Brittany Boorman]

Can I keep a cleaner shrimp with two peppermint shrimp?

I'd caution on it. My cleaners actively hunt down any peppermints that are place into the tank every time I try.

They would fight unfortunately.


Sorry for the late reply, I have to check my notification status.

I've never had any issues with Cleaner Shrimp and Peppermint Shrimp. I can see possible issues in a small tank if it presents overcrowding.

That is good to know. I keep Scarlets together here and they spar when they get too crowded, so maybe that is what it is. They just need enough room. How big of a tank are they in?

My tank is a SCA 150 that is 5x2x2.

I have a 160g with 2 cleaners, 6 peppermints, and 1 fire shrimp, they get along fine.
