    Like the title says I have a CBS. i have some small aiptasia, that needs to go! There is a lot of rocks and hiding places in my tank, will 2-3 Peppermint shrimp survive with the CBS. He is well fed, and his body is about 2" long.

    Nothing got away from my old CBS in my 55. I'll never keep one again(probably). The negatives outweigh the benefits too much.

    I started with 3 peppermints in the 125 with a CBS, now I can only see 1 on occasion. I really doubt you will have any better luck in a 16 gallon tank.
