Ok, I have a question. I just got a Harlequin Shrimp pair. But I already have a Gold Coral Banded Shrimp. Now, will the Coralbanded bother the pair, in a 90 gallon mixed reef?

Its like everything else in this hobby hit or miss. Ive kept fire shrimo with cleaner shrimp and a pistol shrimp and two harlequins. One harlequin was killed rest were fime but i know coral banded shrimps tend to be little meaner

i had my best luck adding shrimp all together , cbs tend to be a bit mean compared to other shrimp but even in my large tank ive had them chase away other shrimp if they come close to the cave they are in
