More than 2 Shrimps?!?


Recommended Posts

Is it advisable to keep more than 2 Cleaner Shrimps in a 3ft tank? Pros and Cons of having more than 2.

Thinking of adding other types of shrimps too. Can you suggest some compatible species?

:thanks: in advance

U may consider hving more if u do lots of feeding!

Juz my 2 cent! :)

You got a point there... no I don't flood my tank with food... so perhaps 2 is good enough. I don't want them eating each other :P

But I really like the redness of Fire Shrimp. Didn't see much of them in LFS... are they rare? What's the usual selling price? Are they compatible with Cleaner?

I have 2 cleaner shrimps and 2 fire shrimps being with me for about 2 years. They do not bother each other as each has staked out its own territrory.

BTW, my tank is 4' so there's lot of real estate to choose from.. :lol:

Almost forgot there also a very big boxer shrimp that only comes out during feeding time and at night. <_<

As for feeding, I target feed them mysis when I feed my fishes.
