Cleaner And Fire Shrimps Same Tank?

[Animal King]

Hey everyone I was wondering If I could put a cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp in a 24g nano tank I already have a fire shrimp and I want to get a cleaner If not Ill just switch him out cause he never comes out and I never see him. Hes not a good cleaner either. Thanks

I had both, 5 cleaner/skunk shrimp and 2 fire shrimp and they all got along fine... until I got a harlequin tusk that eventually ate all of them!

You should be fine with them ime.

I've kept pairs of Coral Banded Shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp and Fire Shrimp together without problems. But beware trying to keep more than two cleaner shrimp together. They are socially enforced monogamous hermaphrodites, in a group the two dominate shrimp will kill off all competitors. I haven't seen anything specific but fire shrimp are in the same genus (Lysmata) with cleaner shrimp so I would be hesitant to try groups of them.

Yeah I have generally always kept both at the same time without issue other than cleaners are always active and blood hides all the time. Usually by both at least 2 at a time. They do better as pairs. On occasion also keep a coral banded with them.
