Can anyone help with letting me know compatibility of pistol shrimp, redline shrimp and coral banded shrimp?

 

[rosechaser]

Just wanted to add that I would like a pistol shrimp with a yellow watchman goby...does that mean I can only have certain other shrimp?

I would like to have a flame hawkfish, but like red line and CBS....thanks

The hawks are likely to eat the shrimp. The CBS may kill any other shrimp in the tank. PRobably best to stick with the redline shrimp - very good cleaners and simultaneous hemaprhodites (both male and female at the same time). Any 2 shrimp will produce eggs and you can experiment in trying to raise them

That's an expensive meals for the Hawks..!!!!

All shrimps will cohabit together excluding Banded Coral Shrimp.

I would go Redlines and the like over a CBS any day.

The tank i got my pair of CBS from had a red line in there aswell.. had no problems with them together for over 18mths..

I haved CBS with pepermint shrimp. No issues as the peps can retreat into holes and crevices
