How Many Shrimp is Too Many?

[bigbris1]

Right now I have a 4" 40L w/Skunk cleaner & CBS. Looking to get a Fire Shrimp also. Should I? The CBS chases the cleaner away only when their antennae touch. How shoud I expect the addition of a fire shrimp to be?

Probably won't change anything. The few times I have kept fire shrimp, they disappeared into hiding and I never saw them again. One time I simply assumed it was dead...until I saw a pair of antennae poking out from the rocks, months later. That's the only time I ever saw it again. They cost a lot for something that is never seen....Eric

CBS are known to fight smaller shrimp,u might want to get rid of that one,besides that you can keep more and a tank that size is probably the only one where you might actually be able to enjoy a firered shrimp
