How many fire shrimp is too many for a 75 gallon? I love the look of shrimp in a tank and I definitely would like a couple. I still want to get some cleaner shrimp as part of my cuc, how many fire shrimp is a good number for a mixed reef tank.

If you have a lot of rock work you could get away with two, especially if they pair off, but unlike a lot of other shrimp, who stay together in pairs, they usually stay away from each other.

I had two in my 90gal reef and one lived on one side of the tank and the other the other side of the tank. Every once and a while I found them together but most of the time they stood clear of each other area.
