    how wierd, just today i had a fire shrimp eat my cleaner shrimp. Fire shrimp are territorial, but if you have a large tank (mine is only 28g) i think it should be fine. Also im pretty sure what happened with my fire shrimp was just a freak kind of thing.

    In a smaller tank, a fire shrimp will generally kill a peppermint shrimp.

    Ya i have a 65g tank with PLENTY of LR, like 85lbs of it. Lots of space to hide. I just dont really want to spend 30 bux+ for one of those dudes just to have it eat my pickers lol.
