i have a 150 gallon tank.

i currently have a coral banded shrimp.

i want to add in a skunk cleaner shrimp...a tiger pistol and maybe some peppermint or sexy shrimp.

is this ok or will they kill each other?

I have a cleaner 2.5", A large coral banded 3", @5 peppermint shrimp.

All in my 100 gal. some times they mess with each other when the come in contact, the cleaner tries to clean the CB, LOL , The CB tries to eat the cleaner, they all pick on the peppermint's when they find em.

I think with enough room to range they will be all right, mine have been with each other for over a year with no loss.

EDIT) My cleaner shrimp is awesome, he cleans EVERY fish in the tank,Gobies, my little hippo tang, firefish, heck if you let em he'll clean you're hand when I stick the suction cup of nori in!
