Peppermint Shrimp and Skunk Shrimp

[mdisalvo55]

Does anybody know if I can successfully combine these two shrimp in my 55 gallon? I would like to but don't want to kill anything...let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!

I have a pair of both in my 120 and they get along fine. They just hang out in different areas of my tank.

I have had zero problems putting them together.

Why thank you, do you think in a 55 they would be okay? When they cross paths do they seem to mind?

I think the only only anti-social shrimp is the coral banded, I have fire shrimp, Skunk cleaners and peppermints together with no problems.

I have two Skunk Cleaner shrimp and one Peppermint shrimp in my 54. The Skunks hang around their "cleaning station" all day and are very sociable, even cleaning my hand.

The Peppermint hides all day long and only comes out at night. When all three shrimp are roaming around the tank at night, they totally ignore each other.
