cleaner shrimps vs sexy shrimps vs pistol shrimps

what's the likelihood of these three shrimps killing each other? i've got 2 cleaners in a 46 gallon right now, would adding the other two be ok?

I have 2 fire cleaner shrimps, 4 sexy shrimps, and 2 pistol shrimps. No problems.

i got coral banded shrimp , 2 cleaner, 1 fire , 1 pistol
everything is fine but CBS is taking alot of place( moving around the tank instead of just staying in one corner as the rest does.)

i have a mated pair cbs who get first dib at any food, 3 cleaner shrimps that don't clean any fish, a blood shrimp that hides in a cave, 3 peppermints that chew up little aptissa but leave larger ones alone, 6 or 7 sexy shrimps that call a pocillopora their home and a pair of harlequins that i rarely see except when i drop a starfish arm into tank. yes and a pistol paired up with my yellow watchman goby. all these in a 90 gallons and i have rarely see any one of these harassing others except during feeding time.
