Fire shrimp ???

[ChiSox Rabbitfish]

Hey guys question can I add a fire shrimp to my tank I currently have a cleaner and a peppermint in there living peacefully. I’ve always wanted that big red shrimp are they compatible?

Yes they are compatible, they will dominate the other shrimp. In my tank the pecking order was fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp, the peppermint.

How big is the tank ? Currently I have 1 fireshrimp(one died) 2 cleaner shrimps and a coral bandit which I never see(wasted money) the cleaners are much small but since they a pair they hold their one, they all have their area which only then fire shrimp crosses he straight up don’t care but they coexist no problem. FYI get 2 and they will be spawning from time to time I see one of the cleaners filled with eggs only caught her once releasing them at nigh

I’ve been lucky with the peppermint so far it got rid of all the aiptasia I couldn’t get to and Ive never seen it bother any of the corals

I just found 1 aptasia, cant get to it with my laser to kill it. I tried 12% peroxide and it came back. I really dont want to get one.

Hey guys, i got 1 fire shrimp, however he never moves from his spot under his rock? Is this normal? And what exactly is it that they eat, seeing as how i never see him out and about eating anything?
