Greetings and happy memorial to all!
i have a 14gallon nano and i had a cleaner shrimp in it and then added a coral banded - both are relatively small and similar in size. I can't find my clearner shrimp and i looked all over so i know it is not molting/hiding. Is it bad to have both shrimps in a small tank? my peppermint is still there. Also any concerns if i add an Arrow crab? thank you!... i guess i am not expecting an answer before tomorrow.. everyone must be enjoying the weather and bbq :)Andy
 
Im pretty sure after a while the arrow will turn predatory, coral banded and cleaner should be fine together (If I recall correctly) but you might have an issue to do terrotary in a smaller aquarium.
 
yeah I have a cleaner, coral banded, and a fire shrimp, all pretty big together but they are in a 72g. It's possible that they'd get territorial in a small tank.
 
I wouldn't do the arrow crab but the other two should be fine they are all types of cleaner shrimp. just make sure there are enough hiding spots
