I'm thinking about adding peppermint shrimp to my Evo 13.5. I've been reading that they prefer to be in groups. Given that, would 3 be pushing it? Or would a pair be enough for them to be comfortable.
Thanks
Scott
 
I've always added them to get after Aiptasia, and typically in groups. They would slowly get eatten by my fish, and that went much faster after I got a wrasse. I have a lot more sq ft in my set up, so I can't say if 3 would be 1 to many? What else do you have in the tank?
 
I have a single clown and a single tailspot blenny. Some zoas and a shroom. I do have Aiptasia, only like one at a time that I've been melting with lemon juice.
