Shrimp questions

[ZenReefer]

How many shrimp can be kept in a 60g?
Id like a pair of skunk cleaner a pair of fire shrimp and possibly a pair of peppermint shrimp.
So is 6 to many, and will they all get along?

The 6 you want is not too many. The issue you run into is the the fire shrimp eating others since they grow to be different sizes. Two fire shrimp is fine alone you start adding the others and having two fire shrimp compared to one will make it that much faster the others are eatin. I would limit to just two fire shrimp. Or take the fire shrimp out do a pair of skunks and do a bunch of peppermints. That's just me though cause I don't want to be blowing money feeding small shrimp to larger shrimp.

Sounds fine to me. I am planing a pair of skunk cleaners and a single fire shrimp in my 90g. I have not had good luck with peppermint shrimp but you could add more than a pair. They really like to hide a lot and only come out at night for me so more would be better if you want to see them.
