Multiple Blood Red Shrimp

[BigHildy53]

What's the chance that three blood red shrimp, two of which are a bonded pair, get along in a 180g 6' tank? I thought the hogfish I recently removed from the tank had eliminated all the shrimp. I didn't see the loan blood red shrimp. Six days ago I added a bonded pair of blood red shrimp from Live Aquaria Diver's Den. Only then did I see a third blood red shrimp. Obviously I missed him when searching the tank. I'm surprised that all three are hanging out in the same general area. What's the chance that all three get along? Or will the two bonded gang up on the single? I haven't seen any aggression yet; does not mean there hasn't been any.

I'm not sure on this one. I would guess in a tank that size it would be ok, but I'll bump this for someone with more knowledge than me on shrimp aggression.

I doubt it be a problem at all . The tank is plenty big enough for them to have their own spot

the pair will gang up on the single and it will be brutal. better send that solo to me. (not really).
