Coral Banded Shrimp and Bristle Worms

[gate]

I have been noticing an increase in Bristle Worm population in my tank lately and have been thinking about adding a Coral Banded Shrimp.

I currently have a Fire Shrimp and misc. snails. I heard these guys are pretty aggressive towards other inverts. Will a Fire Shrimp and a Coral Banded Shrimp get along together?

also, what are my other options beside a Coral Banded Shrimp?

Thanks for help.

get one and see what happens..if you do well, i'm going to buy a fire shrimp. :lol:
i bet if you have a decent sized tank ...things will be ok.

btw..i have a coral banded and a skunk cleaner..and they live fine together...if that helps at all.....

ive currently got a fire and a coral banded...ive had no problems with keeping them together, they both stay on either side of the tank and never bother eachother

its a 40g tank.

Come to think of it, my fire shrimp doesn't stray far from one side of the tank. I guess he's afraid to cross the 6"-7" open sand area in the middle.

Im gonna give it a shot. thanks.

I have 2 peppermints and 1 cbs. They live fine together.

Overpopulated bristles will eventually affect your anemone. It's good to have them, just not too many.
