hey guys i really like having shrimp in an reef tank makes it look so alive, would it be okay to have 1-2 cleaner 1-2 blood red shrimp 3-4 pepper shrimp in a 32g biocube or will it cause issues their bioloads are tiny so i doubt thatll cause issues curious if they would fight?
 
Probably not a bioload issue but might be an issue if you plan on keeping LPS or anemones (they like to pull food out of their stomachs when you feed them). They can be opportunistic cannibals when others are shedding too, so make sure you have tons of hiding spaces available. A minimalist aquascape might lead to issues.

In my experience, keep them well fed and they should leave each other alone...

yah i have alot of holes and caves should be okay hopefully ill some more hiding later on
 
Doesnt matter how many holes and caves you have, you dont have much real estate. With that said, I dont imagine you'd have issues with one each.
