    i just bought two cleaner shrimp from the LFS! I have two tanks a 14gal and a 29gal. Should i separate the shrimp and put one in each of my tanks or keep them together and just put them in one?

    i would put one in each tank due to the benefits they offer a tank. if any uneaten food settles on rock or the sand the shrimp will be quick to eat it up. thats why i like my shrimp.

    They do well together and separately. I have 3 in my 80g and 1 in my 29g. It's fun to see them roam around the tank together during feeding time.
