    Peps and cleaners tend to do fine with each other. What size tank?

    Coral banded shrimps or boxing shrimps can be aggresive and fall out with anything

    I have had blood shrimps and cleaner shrimps in same tank with no issues
    I have had Camel back shrimps and cleaner shrimps in same tank with no issues

    I have a cleaner and a peppermint in a 46 and they are fine. They rarely even see each other and if they do they act like the other isn't even there.

    i confirm the cb shrimp is a threat to all shrimp.... he chased my poor camel back out of the tank to his death and chases the much faster blood shrimp.
