cleaner shrimp
I have a 30 Gal tank and was wondering if it would be good idea to introduce a cleaner shrimp because I already have a Coral banded shrimp but doesnt seem to mind the hermits or the emerald crab so I don't know if I should try the cleaner or not.

Its hit or miss. I tried in a 20g and Coral Banded Shrimp killed the cleaner shrimp. I would rather have the cleaner over the coral banded.

I think the tank is a little to small for those two together. Like said I would keep the cleaner instead as he is more beneficial to your fish.

coral banded shrimp usually kill other shrimp, even there own unless a mated pair are bought.
