Will groups of 2-3 sexy shrimp and a peppermint shrimp get along?

Hello All,

We have an eight week NanoCube 28 that we hope to add some sexy shrimp to the tank.


Will groups of 2-3 sexy shrimp and a peppermint shrimp get along?


We stocked a peppermint shrimp to eat a couple of aptasias spotted in the tank: peppermint eliminated all visible in twenty-four hours. The peppermint shrimp is now the biggest personality in the tank: eating food directly from my hand and showing its mug every opportunity it can. I have read that both shrimp species are ‘peaceful’. We would like to now add the sexy shrimp, but were wondering if they and the peppermint would get along.


Do sexy shrimp bother any corals or invertabrates?


Any experiences shared would be much appreciated. Thank you. -Trey
