    I am wondering how many shrimp should or could a 120g support? I have 2 cleaner shrimp and one peppermint shrimp right now. I noticed just a couple aiptasia nems so I added the peppermint last night and now I don't see the largest of the aiptasia anenimes anymore. I was thinking about adding one or two more peppermint just to make sure they can keep the aiptasia in check now before it becomes a problem. Thanks
