    I was in petco and they had the skunk cleaner shrimp marked wrong so i bought 4 for the price one normally is. I assume they will all be okay because they haven't started fighting yet?

    Great score! I had 3 in a 125 once they all stayed together and never had any problems they are still together today in a (so called) friends 75 system. When I took the 125 down they where housed in a 29 biocube for a month with no problems. But the biocude started leaking and I had to do away with it and give all my pets away... :( Now that I'm starting a new build with a 90 he (my so called friend) won't answer my calls so I re clam my pets.

    Definitely going to survive so long as they make it past the first night. Cleaners only fight at night from what I've heard. (of course, nature will always surprise) But for the price who's to blame you. I'd do the same thing......well done
