Hi all,

I was just wondering if I could keep multiple cleaner shrimp in a tank. I have a 14 gallon bio-cube. Yes I know that that may be too small for now but I picked up a really tiny cleaner for only $7:). Is it possible to keep more than one? Also what about a cleaner and a peppermint?
Thanks!
 
pretty much any lysmata shrimp do better in small to larger groups, your two will be A-OK
 
in my system i have 2 peps, 2 scarlets and an annemone shrimp thats always hiding for a few days at a time. Think that means its time for another.
 
Are the annemone shrimp the 'see-through' ones? What is there price compared to peppermints and cleaners?

The name of "Anemone Shrimp" has been given to a couple of SP. of shrimp...A common shrimp which is refered to as anemone shrimp are the "Sexy" shrimp...However, the true anemone shrimp is called periclimenes pederson ( common name Pederson Shrimp )

Price wise, i dont about other parts in the world, but here in the UK, they are very rare to find, and you can expect to pay 4 or 5 times the ammount of the normal scarlet lysmata cleaner shrimp...
 
Holy moly that would be $100 bucks over here. But we have the 'Sexy Shrimp' that are much much cheaper. Are they compatible with a peppermint and scarlet?
