Will a large blood shrimp bother small cleaners?

[Anonymous]

I have a large blood shrimp (about 4.5") and am thinking about adding 2-3 small cleaner shrimp to my tank. Will he bother them at all? The tank is a 75 gallon...

Peace,

Chip

I had a blood cleaner that was about 3 inches, and it would chase off the other cleaners from time to time in my 105.

Chip,

I have 2 cleaners in a 30 gallon and added a blood shrimp (the same size as the cleaners, about 2 inches in length) to the tank. The blood shrimp hides all of the time, while the cleaners are out and about.

While the blood shrimp is a stunning color, my next shrimp will be another cleaner.

I have a blood shrimp and cleaner shrimp. The blood shrimp stays hidden most of the time and does not bother the cleaner. The cleaner is out all of the time. The blood shrimp is beautiful but for the money I would just get another cleaner.

Wow, thats one big shrimp! I have both blood shrimp and cleaner shrimp in the same 46 (3 of each, all around the same size) They all keep to themselves except when it's feeding time, They'll try to steal food from each other but nothing major.
