Shrimp Compatibility

[jeffltodd]

I was perusing through one of the online stores that sells pre-made tank cleaner packs. I noticed one pack for a 30-50 gallon tank has 3 peppermint shrimp and one coral banded shrimp AND 2 emerald crabs.

I have had peppermint with emeralds and coral banded with emeralds, but never peppermint with coral banded.

Are these compatible?

Are these compatible? No! My coral banded eat peppermints . I go to Dr. F&S make your own c.u.c. .;)

That's what I do as well, but wanted to look over what they offer as far as a packages to compare and this is where I found these being offered together.
