I have a 20 gallon high tank with 2 clown fish and and 1 cleaner shrimp. Can i get 2 more fish for it?

Re-entering reefing after being gone for 8 years, the price of Cleaner Shrimp has surprised me most. Before I throw 2.5 hours of work (of my wage) on a prawn, how long do you all have your shrimps for? Back in the day I recall them being a bit more sensitive? But I was newer to the hobby and...

so I’m writing this after another 30 minutes of struggle to feed my corals. For whatever reason my cleaner shrimp won’t stop trying to steal food from corals mouth. I’ve tried everything, flooding the tank with food , spot feeding him LPS pallets, trowing pallets next to coral just for him...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

Hey all, so for over the past year or so I’ve tried to keep cleaner and fire shrimp in my reef tank, but for some reason I can’t keep them alive for any longer than a few months. It always comes to me checking out the tank one morning, and seeing what looks like a molted exoskeleton and the...

Cleaner shrimp climbing live rock

Hello everyone, My cleaner shrimp who I got maybe about 2 months ago is starting to bother my fish and some coral. He's only about an inch long but likes to mess with everything in my tank, especially my hector's goby. He's in a 20 gal lagoon style tank with the only other inhabitant is the...

I have a super active cleaner shrimp that basically runs between my corals and anemone. He’s obviously irritating them constantly. Is there anything I can do short of removal?

I have two clownfish ans various hermits and snails in a 32 gallon biocube. I have soft, LPS, and zoa corals. Would a cleaner shrimp be ok in here or will they turn on corals sometimes? I’m specifically looking at skunk shrimp.

Testing with Salifert and API respectively, my magnesium is 1530 and calcium is 360. Is this normal? Should I dose calcium? If so, how much? My tank is 20 gallons. Also got a male and female cleaner shrimp recently. The female died this morning, wondering if the clowns pestered her too much or...

Hi, I am currently thinking about stocking for my 15 gallon marine tank. I would like a Yasha goby and a candy pistol shrimp (pair them up) I would also like a cleaner shrimp. Would these guys be ok with each other? I’ve heard so many good things about cleaner shrimp but just wanted to ask

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...
