	Fireshrimp And Bandedshrimp Compatability?
ThAtGuY11 Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Apr-2008	Ok, i have a 90L tank with 2 clowns, 1 humbug, 2 hermits, 3 snails, 3 anemones, and a fire shrimp. My question is, Can i buy a Banded Cleaner Shrimp without any problems with my fire shrimp?. Can i even buy a skunk cleaner shrimp aswell? i really like my shrimp . Thanks, ThAtGuY

The skunk cleaner is more likely to get along, but I'd suggest that you don't try it unless you had a bigger tank. BTW your humbug damsel will eventually get to 5" and become very aggressive towards your clowns. I'd suggest moving him out and replacing with something like a freidmani pseudochromis.
