Peppermint and skunk shrimp

[Redbird5]

I added a rock to the aquarium and moved things around and the shrimp are getting along better.

Peppermint shrimp are also naturally going to hide a bit more. The skunk cleaners are also very aggressive at feeding time anyway. I once had a skunk cleaner try to fight a nassarius snail for a pellet. The nassarius snail did not know when to stop eating and ended up killing my shrimp.

I did watch them when I fed them this morning and the skunk shrimp is a jerk. He was chasing my peppermint shrimp around the aquarium. Dude, there's more than enough space for both of you and more than enough food. Stop being a jerk.

I have the same thing happen. The skunk cleaner is a bully and the peppermints have separated themselves to different caves. So I have 3 sections of shrimp. Can't wait to see what happens when the clowns move in. lol They might have to make peace to make room. I only have a 15 gallon tank.
