[nqh71]

Hi Guys,

Need info on shrimps that are reef safe... Intend to put it in my tank but afraid that it may disturb my corals... Read around in other website, but got conflicting view on it...

[Achilles Tang]

What species are you particularly interested in?

[Regal]

IMO U can put in Cleaner shrimps , fire Shrimps, Banded Shrimps & Anemon Shrimps......

What species are you particularly interested in?

I am interested in 3 species of shrimps;

They are the Cleaner Shrimp, Banded Shrimp, And the Harlequin... Is it ok?

[Chris]

Cleaner shrimps are totally safe. Banded shrimps are reef safe but will fight with each other. Harlequine is safe to all except starfish, which it eats.

Also, Harl shrimps are most expensive.

Hi Bro,

Can these three shrimps be together? I intend to get two of each, is it recommended?

[metals99]

banded shrimp will attack other shrimps leh.. they are territorial..

[Chris]

No problem with the first two but for Harlequine, can you get live starfish for it to eat? If no, it will die.

I guess harlequin is out of the question... Thanx...

CB not that bad lar....if the tank is large enough and sufficient LRs for hiding place, the other shrimps will either hide or run away from CB.

But absolutely no no for 2 CB in the same tank.

[nqh71]

Thanx guys for the input... I will start off with two cleaner shrimps first... And see how they progress...

[bum]

But absolutely no no for 2 CB in the same tank.

not really...

i have 2 in mine....

possible if you have enough space,

and its a male-female combi.

my bigger female tore the claws off the resident male

when i first put her in...

in the following weeks...after the subsequent moults,

she tore off less appendages

but now they so lovey dovey.

waiting to spawn
