Sexy Shrimp
 

I just bought 2 sexy shrimp and was woundering if they can live with 4 peppermints and 1 cleaner shrimp.

Thanks

I myself have two sexy shrimp, 4 skunk cleaner shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 fire shrimp and a porcelain crab and they all get along just fine.

ps.. Do you already have the 5 shrimps? If you are worried it seems odd asking after the fact, hehe!

Haha yeah I already have them and there happy, I just wanted to make sure they wouldn't attack the sexy shrimp.

I want a pair too :-) Where do you get them in Calgary?

Elite had a few the other day.

That's where I got mine :-) He still has a couple left, I was there today to pick up a couple of pom pom crabs :-D

I also saw some at Ocean City last week.

thanks

I have 2 with a peppermint shrimp and a gold coral banded shrimp (there is something wrong with the CBB - he's supposed to be a jerk, but he's really quite shy, I don't recommend putting them with a CBB normally)
We've had our 2 sexies over 2 years now, I really love them... THEY are the deciding factor in most fish purchases, I wouldn't want to risk them (Keep that in mind tho - being very small even fish who don't usually eat shrimp may make a meal out of them)

There so funny, they dance on my brain corals in the day and jump around the tank at night.

Unfortantly i did not check to see how many there were left over. I might have took the last ones....

ya, they are SO entertaining I want to get more as the two I have get lost in my 150g tank :lol:. They seem to favour my frogspawn, but they will frequent other rock structures from time to time, and then I have to go hunt for them to see what they're up to. They jump like crickets, its cool to watch.

clowns will eat them as they are nem shrimp. they will compete for hosts thus the clowns will eat them. just what i have read.

well i bought a pair from Oceancity and the guy said they will be ok. So i put them under hammer coral. 5 minutes later, still there. 10 mins later they are gone and my six line wrasse keep swimming around hammer coral.

Not sure where they are now :-(

Sounds like your 6-line knows...

Mine were in with both mature clowns and a yellow wrasse (they did grow up with them tho so I think that helps)

Your shrimp are hiding under your hammer coral. That's where mine hide. You will only see them
once in a while now :-)

I have a hard time believing the six line got them. I know it is possible but six lines have pretty small mouths, unlike most other wrasses. My six line can hardly put down a mysis shrimp.
