    I have 1 skunk cleaner shrimp in my 125. I was looking to add more shrimp. How many cleaners would go well in a 125, also what others get along. I have heard of fire, pistol, and coral shrimp killing cpretty sure peppermints get along with the cleaner shrimp

    you could probably have as many cleaner shrimp as you can afford(billionaires excluded).
    I have heard of fire shrimp killing in one occasion, but i think it is generally accepted that these will be ok with cleaners.

    how ever i cannot voach for the mixing if you can buy more then 100 shrimp :)

    I have a clean up crew of snails and crabs I'm just asking about shrimp.

    Cool about the Skunk shrimp. I was just worried if I got a couple more if they would fight like if they were all male or something.
