Pistol shrimps

[dekay]

Want to know if a pistol shrimp and 2 cleaner shrimps will co-exist in a 46gallon tank.

So far so good in my 26, the pistol "snaps" away if anyone comes close.

what kinda inverts do you keep in your tank? how long have you had them? size?

[BCOrchidGuy]

lots of corals, a clam, etc etc.. the cleaner shrimp are typical cleaners, into everything, the pistol hangs out (hides) under some rock. I've got a tiny rainsford goby in the tank and the pistol shrimp ignores him. Had them all in there for over a month now, no worries.

shouldnt be a problem at all.
they have different life behaviours and habitats.
