Shrimp compatability??

[adam-silver]

Hi All

Can boxing shrimp & cleaner shrimp be kept together? do they fight?

[dan-dare]

I've seen them in big tanks together. Boxers tend to stake out their territory so if you have the space you 'should' be ok

how big a tank would work for them?

Im gonna get some boxers off Macca but would like a couple of cleaners too.

Thanks

I have seen normal boxers happily pick off and eat sexy shrimp before now but think the smaller blue legs should be safe with cleaners

Hi
I had a 5x2x2 with 6 cleaners and a pair of boxers for about 18 months, boxers were no trouble, if the boxers went near the cleaners the cleaners would get out of the way.

I have 4 cleaners,2 blood,2 peppermints,2 harlequins and getting 2 bumblebee shrimps,and all get along ok.

So 2 cleaners & 1 boxer would be ok in a 3.2ft tank?
