    I am looking at buying a Fire Shrimp and a Skunk Shrimp. What I wanted to know if I would have any problems keeping these two together. Also is premium aquatics a good place to buy them from? There are no LFS to buy them at in my area.

    I drove from Wisconsin to their store 2 weeks ago and I'd do it again. Very nice people, knowledgeable and their prices are very competitive. I picked up 93 lbs of fiji LR from them and my wife and I couldn't be happier.

    You shouldn't have any problem with keeping the two different types of shrimp together. Just be sure to acclimate them slowly and supplement with iodine.
    What types of fish do you plan on keeping with them?

    Premium Aquatics is an excellent company. Rob, Jeremy, and Jay are very knowledgeable and helpful.

    I usually drive over there every fall when they have their annual garage sale.

    Right now I only have 2 gold stripe maroon clownfish in my 55 gal that would be with them. I might eventually get another fish eventually, but I worry that the clownfish will harass another fish that I put in there. I have heard the maroon clownfish can be aggressive with other fish.

    You shouldn't have a problem with many different varieties of fish being compatible with your Maroons! Tangs and angelfish being just a couple being compatible with them.
