Default Bangii Cardinals & Cleaner Shrimp

How many people have successfully kept Cleaner Shrimp while having Bangii Cardinals in the tank with them? I've read about the shrimp being eaten by the cardinals.

Any secrets to share if so?

Ive had one with peppermint, fire, and skunks with no issues. In fact the bangaii barely does anything but float around its area and I have never seen any type of aggression from it, even towards the the other cardinals I have.

I have one with many cleaners and peppermints. No issues at all.

I had a mated pair of Bangaii's with peppermints for about a year.

The shrimp were fine till I added a small Flame Hawk. He took all the shrimp out in a day.

same with me, 1 cardinal, 2 cleaners, 1 fire and 1 peppermint, all fine. Do cardinals get aggressive??? Mine just chills most of the time.

I don't think they get aggressive. I've just read that they really enjoy the odd shrimp snack: and that the usefulness of Cleaner Shrimp isn't enough to deter them from becoming lunch.
