Would 1 peppermint, 2 fire shrimp and 1 cleaner shrimp go together as well in a 92 gal?

Should be ok. Depending on the aggressiveness of your Cleaner.

Thanks. I have the others already (fire & peppermint) and they never like to come out into the open. I was thinking of adding a small cleaner in there to add some interest.

Becareful of how agressive your cleaner gets. I have a large cleaner and introduced a pep and the cleaner killed it.

Like stile said. THat was my concern above. I have one huge claner and he killed my Sea Hare. I was worried about other shrimp but he has not had any problems with a pepermint I placed in there a few weeks ago.
