hey i have a 65 gallon tank with well over 100 lbs of LR and have a cleaner shrimp currently but want to add a blood red cleaner, would this be a safe move or no?

I keep both together in a 180 with no issues.

I rarely ever see my blood. IMO, if you want another shrimp, double down on the skunks, they have such a great personality. To answer the q, the blood & skunk will get along fine.

Iv heard that about bloods, do most people agree that they always hide, cuz i love my cleaner he climbs right up into my hand and eats out of it, very curious animal

Yes they do come in contact often and at most the blood might chase the skunk away.

I see my blood shrimp all the time but it does stay slightly Hidden.
