I've got a 29-gal with just some snails, 3 pep shrimp and one perc clown...

I've heard different things from different people...

Some say it is ok to mix pep, cleaner, and fire shrimp together, others say that they will kill each other.

I really wanted to add 3 cleaner shrimp and 1 fire shrimp but I am affraid to until I get some feedback from you guys...so what's the verdict?

Thanks

Shrimp eat shrimp; but, it's rare.

I had one Cleaner that loved to eat Aiptasia feed Peppermint Shrimp.

If you do a search, you'll find threads discussing shrimp attacks. That said, it's still pretty rare.

Best of luck,
