I'm curious what kind of shrimp I can add to my 40B, I want to get some different varieties, and get a few of each to be able to add some more activity to my tank while I wait for my corals to start growing. I'm getting close to maxing out my fish population, so time to start thinking about what kind of shrimps I want to add.
I've had a peppermint shrimp before, so I'll probably add a couple of them again even though I don't have an aiptasia problem since my LR came from my old tank and all the new rock I added was dry rock just to avoid hitchhikers, but my peppermint I had before was a good scavenger so figure it doesn't hurt to add two or three in to scavenge for food.
Also thinking I'll add a few sexy shrimp to have a little different look to them.
Will blood red / fire shrimp be peaceful towards peppermints / sexy shrimp?
What about coral banded shrimp? I've read they might be aggressive towards other shrimp, what is your experience?
How many shrimp do you think would be OK in a 40B?
Is it OK to add multiple pistol shrimp as long as they have places to make their own? My goby seems to have abandoned my current pistol shrimp, they had been together for the past month or so and now all the sudden the goby moved to a new spot away from the pistol shrimp. Do pistol shrimp kill/eat hermits? I've been noticing a lot of hermit shells getting piled up around where the pistol shrimp lives, so not sure if the hermits were going after the pistol or if the pistol has been killing the hermits, but there is a build up of shells that haven't been moving lately around the pistol's home (I thought maybe this is why the goby abandoned the pistol, because the pistol has become a slob and leaves its play toys laying all over their home).
