Coral Banded w/ Other Shrimp

[kilralpine]

Was just wondering if anyone has had any success on a slightly larger tank at housing a Coral banded shrimp with any other shrimp types? Also in addition to this have you had them no get along with anything non-shrimp?

May take a shot in the near future at a CBS + FS and keep an eye on them, wondering what u guys think? thanks.

My banded coral shrimp and cleaner get along great. I do find a nice v shaped notch in my fish's fins from time to time though.

Haha, yea these guys love to chase highly active fish for some reason. My little male clown gets nipped from time to time; female started slamming him when he tries lol. My black angelfish resents him because he knows shes coming from a mile away.

I've got a coral banded along with a blood red fire shrimp and peppermint shrimp. They all hang out on the right side of my tank in the same cluster of rock. The left side of my tank is home to my watchmen goby and tiger pistol shrimp.

My coral banded killed and ate 2 fire shrimp and a herd of peppermints.
Those big claws aren't made for cleaning.

I had a CBS that got along fine with a cleaner, but I never could keep peppermints. I always thought the peppermints were being eaten by a serpent star until I saw the CBS snatch a just added peppermint right out of mid water as it floated down. It took about a day to trap the CBS and back to the LFS he went. My peppermints have never been happier!

Interesting thing here is that I have about an 18" Snowflake eel that gets along in harmony just fine with the CBS; yet Im very unsure if he would do just fine with a fire shrimp because hes on a krill diet. So I have to look at it from two perspectives, the likelihood it would all work out with the FS added last I am starting to think its a longshot.

Maybe because the peppermints have been in the aquarium for a year or more before the CBS but The peppermints stay in the right side front mostly And once in awhile I'll see the CBS in the front but they seem content for now I also give them lil minced scallop when I feed my rbta so they are well fed
