Shrimp Compatibility

[Henry]

Is there a problem keeping a coral banded shrimp and a regular cleaner shrimp in the same tank. I already have a coral banded shrimp, but I'm interested in a cleaner and don't need a turf battle.

thanks

I've done it in my tank and had no problems so far along with sexy shrimp, harlequin, and a blood shrimp...I have seen two cbs go at it though

I have a mated pair of coral banded and mated pair of cleaners in the same tank.

That's a dicy question. How big is your tank?
The coral banded shrimp could end up eating your other shrimp. Coral banded shrimp would seems to try to eat some fishes too. But it's too slow for most fishes. I don't keep coral banded shrimp b/c they tend to eat the bristle worms as well.

Come to think of it, the coral banded shrimp might try to break the other shrimp's feeding pincher. So, you have have a shrimp's that alive, and missing it pincher.

Thanks for the responses, these guys would be going into a 65gal tank for now. I was just checking 'cause I didnt want to come home to half a cleaner.

Thanks
