Fire shrimp and skunk cleaner shrimp

[Ed77]

Just curious if anyone houses fire shrimp and skunk cleaner shrimp in the same tank? I have a 54 gallon corner tank currently have a skunk cleaner in it. Would like to put in a fire shrimp. Thanks

I have kept them together many times without issue.

I have of 2 each in a reefer 250. They seem fine with one another

I have had both for months with no issues.

I kept one of each in my old 90 gallon. They didn't really ever notice each other.

You can also keep multiples of the same species, so adding more skunk cleaners is an option too.

Used to keep these Shrimps, 2 ea on a standard 29g and had no issues.
I prefer Fire shrimps though, Skunk is just notorious on stealing food from corals.

I have also kept them together with no issues.

I have had both in my tank for years. Never a problem, but with any encounter the blood shrimp always are dominant in my experience. They get first choice of hangouts.

Yup. I have one of each in my 40 breeder and they get along great. One has made home underneath an encrusting monti rock, and the other made its home in a cave on the opposite side of the tank :)

I have both with no issues. One stays on his side of the tank and the other on the opposite.

Perfect. Thanks everyone.

I have had both of them together along with peppermint shrimps in a 75 gallon tank before.

Have both in a 90g and they don't seem to bother each other. Also have a peppermint shrimp. They all have there own spots in the tank.
