I have 5 decent sized peppermints in my tank along with 2 chromis & a clownfish. Want to get a cleaner shrimp but I was wondering if the peppermints will get along with cleaners?

I have 1 cleaner and 1 peppermint, and a chromis and have had no problems! I have a 90 galllon tank so there is lots of room! How big is your tank?

Yes they will, No problem whatsoever. Both are reef safe and Both are scavengers/cleaners. They wont attack eachother.

Yep...good to go, just don't put a coral banded in there and you'll be fine.

My fire shrimp was fine with 4 cleaners for about two years. By then he was pretty big and he became aggressive towards the cleaner shrimp and eventually killed them off.

From what I've seen as long as the fire shrimp has a place of his own to hide they do fine. Its also a space issue but i don't see why you wouldn't have room in a 75.

I would say yes to skunk cleaner shrimp; and no to coral banded or fire shrimp

I have a cleaner in the same tank as a coral banded shrimp. The coral banded is huge, too. They leave each other alone just fine. But, there's lots of room in there.
