Ok guys, Thank you for your reply... I'm going to cross my fingers to see what happen.

I have two tanks, one of them has a Golden banded shrimp with a blue tang and the other has a cleaner shrimp. Now my Tang get ich and I want to put my cleaner shrimp in his tank, I catch him already but I thought that my shrimps could fight. I can not catch my golden banded because he's so shy and he's always hidden in my live rock and I can not move my rocks. Anywa, the question is: can I have a golden shrimp in the same tank with a cleaner shrimp... are they going to fight? this Tank is 60 gal. Please help me, my cleaner is now in a small container waitting for your reply.

I don't see a problem. I have a 125 with 4 fire shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimp, and a coral banded shrimp. No fatalities, they all live together and generally stay away from the coral banded shrimp.

I agree with davelin. I have 2 fire 2 cleaners and a gold banded in my 180 and they don't mess with each other at all. Just don't put 2 bandeds in together (unless a mated pair) or an arrow crab with a banded or they will eventually fight to the death
