Do all species of shrimp get along?

[Stray32]

I am thinking about adding a few Peppermint Shrimp to munch on some aptasia, but I already have two Harlequin Shrimp and two Sexy Shrimp.

Will all of these guys get along if I add maybe six Peppermints?

Consider yourself lucky! Banded Shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) are known for taking out other shrimp (I can vouch frst hand too), particulalry skunk cleaners (Lysmata amboinensis).

That mix should be fine Jared.

I have a coral banded, blood or fire, a couple skunks, and a peppermint. They are all cool together, but they all each have their own "area".

i had a coral banded take out a skunk shrimp before, but the ones you listed shouldnt be a problem.
