shrimp compatibility ...

[pc604]

Hi,

Every time I buy a peppermint shrimp, my skunk cleaner either kills it or harasses it into hiding so that it never comes out to eat, and it eventually starves to death. And I thought they were supposed to be friendly. I have a 20 gal nano ... could it be that the tank is too small for them to coexist?

My cleaner shrimp is also quite large, and I can never find a peppermint of similar size at any LFSs.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
