Can I do a pair of cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp and coral banded shrimp in a 6 foot, 200 gallon aquarium? I have only ever kept on shrimp at a time so this is all new to me.

I don’t want fighting, I figure I at least have enough room for the cleaner and fire. I’m on the fence about the banded shrimp. I hear so much conflicting info on their temperament.

I’ve got 2 coral banded shrimp and 2 cleaner shrimp in a 50 gallon both pair are male and female. Doesn’t mean it will work for everybody.
 
Aggression in the beginning. But have all calmed down and have their own rocks they hang out at.
