 Topic: Another shrimp ?
Posted: July 10 2003 at 5:45am |
I have a 125 gallon Do you think I would be ok to mix a coral banded shrimp, A pistol shrimp and a cleaner shrimp, oh and an arrow crab. Does anyone see any problems with this mix? I currently have all these in seperate smaller tanks but would like to condense.

If it is a long 125 I bet that it would be no problem but you really should try your best to make them take sides of the tank. Try to force them to do so. I don't know much about pistol shrimp but the coral banded might think of the cleaner shrimp as a meal some day, unless they are far enough apart. I would put the cleaner in first. Also if the coral shrimp is fed well enough he might not be tempted.

I added a coral banded, two cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp at the same time. The other shrimp are faster than the coral banded so they just move away from him if he gets to close.

Never have had an arrow crab before, but i've heard that you can' t keep them with coral banded. I have have pepermint and cleaner shrimp in the same tank without any problems. I have also kept Coral banded, cleaner, and a little hitchhiker shrimp which i've heard called a sexy shrimp together without any fighting. They just seem to know who was boss and when to get out of the way
