Wife and I started our 200 gallon Waterbox about 9 months ago. It is finally time to breakdown our older 40 gallon aquarium.
We have two skunk cleaner shrimp in the large tank and a peppermint shrimp in the smaller tank. All three are adult size.
We would like to hear from fellow aquarist with experience. Are these two species compatible in the same aquarium?
We are partial to our skunk cleaner shrimp as they are out and about during the daytime.
If the peppermint shrimp in going to injury or kill our skunk cleaner shrimp, we'll rehome him.
 
Yup, they are just fine together.
Have all three, skunk, cleaner and fire.
 
I’ve kept both without issue in a 75 gal FOWLR. Eventually the peppermint died off due to lack of aptasia but save that they got along fine.
