Keeping Boxer shrimp with Sexy shrimp.

[Evolutionz]

Hey guys, i just bought a boxer shrimp few days ago and im planning to keep sexy shrimp too.. upon reading more on boxer shrimp, i read some people saying they might have a tendency to attack other shrimps.. is this true? should i remove the boxer shrimp if i want to keep cleaner or sexy shrimp or are they able to live well together if i make sure they are all well fed?

[Evolutionz]

anyone?

The boxer shrimp will kill the sexy shrimp..

I wouldn't mix boxer with any kind of shrimps.

Thanks for all your inputs.. sealife uncle told me safe to keep with sexy shrimps thats why i bought it.. next time better do my own research first!

My boxer killed my sexy shrimps when there is not enough food to go around.

If your Boxer starts to Box your sexy...... it won't look sexy anymore.

So beware ... ...

You are right! Now it seems that all my sexy shrimps are gone except for one trapped in the overflow compartment.

I used 2 have 1 boxer, 2 sexy and 2 cleaner for 2 months. All was fine but after a short holiday, all died.. Think they did a royal rumble while i was away...

The sexy shrimp not sexy enough, that is why kenna boxed. Or the boxer finds the sexy shrimp irritating, keeps on shaking whole day in front, also one reason.<br /><br />Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

[seanhorsay]

Ah. The uncommon Blue Body Stenopus! It's beautiful. It's interesting to know it doesn't harm your sexy shrimps.

How about if the sexy shrimp are hosting an anemone , is it safer to keep them with boxer shrimp ? I like Evolutionz like both boxer and sexy shrimps haha .
