Heres the deal

[vvc10]

Hi,

Right now I have a clown, a perc, and a few blue leg hermits in my tank. Im planning to get some scarlets, a porcleain crab, a peppermint shrimp, and a few sexy shrimp. I know that they all are compatible with eachother, but i still have a few concerns.

1) Does the sexy shrimp have to have an anenome or some coral to host? Or can it survive without anything to host.

2) Also, liveaquaria send them 1/4" to 3/4". So i guess thats the size of the ones i see at the store since their not 1.5 inches yet. So I was thinking, will my clown eat them or harass them.


Any thoughts

Thanks in advance.

What size is your tank? Depending on your size, this might be too much.

Scarlets usually are peaceful; but, I have one that likes to eat Peppermints.

As far as I know, a clown won't eat an adult shrimp. But, if you get 2 of the Scarlets or Peppermints, they'll eat the babies.

Best of luck,

Roy

Really, Im sorry. I meant Red Scarlet Hermits.
Scarlet cleaners eat peppermint shirmps! Wow, i never knew that. I thought they were peaceful. Thanks again. Hopefully my clown wont eat the tiny sexy shrimps. What to do, what to do?
