Would They Get Along?

[Fishy1]

I have a 7 gallon nano that is home to 2 turbo snails, 2 blue legged hermits and and 1 very small yellow-tailed blue damsel. I would like to add a common clearner shrimp. Would the blue damsel pick on it? Thanks in advance.........

The cleaner should be fine! Just don't add another fish :) I think cleaners do better when two or more, but not sure abot a nano...

I agree with guy, I had a cleaner for a couple of years with my damsel and they did fine together. Its really comical to watch the shrimp do his job and the mean little damsel sat patiently and waited.;)

Thanks, guys:) I was a little concerned because my daughter had a 30 gallon which was home to a royal gramma and a cleaner shrimp. Eventually the royal gramma turned hostile toward the shrimp and it would have died if not removed from the tank. Just wanted to be sure that the damsel wouldn't do the same thing. I can't wait to see the shrimp in action!
