Harley

How about Harley w/Blood or Coral Banded shrimp? Sorry to post it here.

yes to them also, just dont want to mix cleaner with blood or banded, none of those body types mixed, and normally you cant put more then 2 of those in unless done at the same time, i had added another pair to my cleaners ive had over a yr and was a little battle within them now all of them posted their own cleaning station

I keep my Harlequin Shrimp with a Blood Shrimp happily in a 29 gallon BioCube. I have heard reports that Coral Banded Shrimp can be aggressive and have been known to kill other shrimp, including Harlequins. I would not recommend keeping Coral Banded Shrimp with others unless in a very large aquarium (over 75 gallons).
