I have a 20 gal long that i took over about 3 weeks ago. It came w/live rock, mushrooms a bubble coral and one pajama cardinal. After it all settled down a little i could not resist the urge to pick up a cleaner shrimp. The guy i took it over from was feeding pellet food so i also picked up some sally's brine shrimp. After about a week of this i have been able to sit down and notice that my cardinal is getting a little mean. Today i saw him repeatedly taking shots at my cleaner shrimp... Do i need to get rid of him or is he just getting used to sharing the tank? I value the shrimp much more and also plan to add non aggressive fish. I kind of like him but not at the expense of a brighter future. Any advice?
