sexy shrimp housing
 
Ok i cant find this info anywhere and ive looked.
Can i house a group of sexy shrimp with a peppermint shrimp and a skunk cleaner.
Can they also be housed with clowns, how about a group of gobies or a dwarf angel fish (coral beauty) ???

Mine (3) live with a Coral Banded Shrimp, Pygmy Cherub Angel, Royal Gramma, Firefish, Naked Clownfish, and a couple other small fish (gobies) in a 34g RSM, but I don't have a Skunk Cleaner.....

I can't speak for the sexy or the peppermint but I do have a cleaner shrimp. It has never been bothered by my clowns, flame angel or purple firefish. My hippo tang seems to really enjoy getting the odd cleaning too.

ohh thank, you.

just for more info in case people are wondering. i have a 28 gal planted reef tank currently housing 2 percs, 1 pep shrimp, shrooms, gorg, macro algae.

If anyone in BC has any macroalgae they are willing to part with I will gladly take some.
Currently i have dragons tongue and another dark red algae.
I just bought some calcium additive so now i can take calcium suckers as well :)

I have peppermints and skunk cleaner together. The cleaner shrimp is the boss, but everyone is okay. I think if I were to try to house all of those, I think I'd throw them in all at once (after acclimatizing of course). Like anything, these guys stake their claims, and get choked when they see each other occassionally. And, I would make sure they are fed too, or they will probably start scrapping.

Oh, and I don't think any of your mentioned fish will try and eat your shrimps. Sexy shrimps are the smallest so they would be the most at risk. You should be fine.
