Trying to gauge if I should take a FB marketplace offer. A guy is tearing down his long time tank due to lack of time to maintain. He is getting rid of 6 shrimp in all split between peppermints and fire cleaner shrimp for a solid price. I have a well established 90 gallon with a pretty decent bioload but no shrimp of any kind. Having never kept shrimp is this too many and are there things I should be considering.

I do have aiptasia that my lazy filefish only eats if hand fed so the peps are enticing.
 
I would, but I would make sure they are Peppermint and not camel. Only because you have Aiptasia, otherwise I would say no to the Peppermint, but take the Fire Shrimp.
