Fire shrimp or Cleaner shrimp?

[adamlodge14]

Hi, I thinking of stocking for my 15-gallon tank.
I would really like a fire shrimp or a cleaner shrimp, what are your thoughts?
They both stay fairly small at 2 inches and aren't aggressive so if I kept one with peaceful tankmates would it do ok?
I have plenty of caves, live rock and crevasses.

Lol
well I changed my mind again and I now have a cleaner shrimp! It arrived yesterday alongside a Randall’s pistol shrimp for my Yasha goby, everything is settling in well!

I don't have a pistol but I decided against it, as I have heard when they snap their claws and something is in it's way, whatever it is would be dead. I've heard they can kill things in their way! I originally wanted a goby/pistol pair but decided not. I got an emerald crab. Have no problems. Cleaner shrimp get all up in the fishes gills LOL it's kinda funny.

Well the Randall’s pistol shrimp is only 1 inch max size so it shouldn’t be an issue, the more common pistol shrimp (tiger) gets to around 4 inches so that could be quite harmful, but yea their claw can snap at like 100+ miles and hour, crazy.
I was thinking about getting an emerald crab but my tank is only 15 gallons and I’ve heard they can be quite aggressive unless they are very well fed, so I may get a pair of Pom Pom crabs instead once my tank is established!

I have a cleaner in a 13.5. For now. It’s fine he’s great personality is awesome and 90 percent of his time is upside down on his fav rock. Until food comes
