how many skunk shrimps for my 2ft

weileong · November 26, 2003

MH off and left actinic on, then saw my two skunk clown there and the skunk shrimps "cleaning" them.

Thought of getting one or two cleaner shrimps to add to the tank. Is that advisable?

IMO 2 should be enough - there isn't many fishes that you can have (for the case of a 2 footer) for the CS to clean.

I am a 2 ft tank too.

I have 2 skunk shrimp too. I think 2 is enough especially since they grow so fast.

2 is enough BUT if you wanna add more it should be totally ok.. I personally think that they're so so beautiful..

Hey how long can cleaner shrimps live? I've had my pair for pretty long already and they're rather huge now..

I keep getting the feeling that they're old already and dying soon... So sad sad..

No sure how long they will live.

I buy my when they are 1 inch long. After 4 months they are 2 and a half inches long.

I have 3 skunk, 2 fire red & 1 boxer shrimps in my 2ft tank

they eat leftovers too so not afraid of starving them

how are these boxer shrimps? Heard the yellow banded ones are safer?

Boxer shrimps r ok.

It does not actually attack other LS. Anyway, it usually hides behind some LR
