View Full Version : Coral Banded Shrimp not well suited to cleaning?

So, I've consolidated my 55 gal FOWLR & 40 gal reef tank into the 55 gal tank (pics on my MSN site).

Now, in that tank I have two coral banded shrimp (both female, and both getting along), a yellow tail damsel, blue spotty damsel, two clowns, two blue chromis, and one Eibli angel.

The Eibli angel has been soliciting the two coral banded shrimp for cleanings. She's been getting SOME cleaning, but the shrimp don't really seem that interested. Is this something a skunk cleaner would more suited to? I have a feeling, however, that one skunk cleaner, and two coral bandeds may be too much for this tank. :(

Skunks or blood shrimp are more suited to clean. CBS' are more suited to catch a fish and eat it.

My coral banded shrimp was a mean arse... Would always be SUPER aggressive towards EVERYTHING in the tank... So he got dropped in a cup of bleach once I caught him ;) Solved that problem
