I currently have a mated pair of Harlequin shrimp in my 45g cube and was wondering if I could add a bongo shrimp to the mix? I love the look of them but admittedly don't know much about them. Thanks for the help!

I'd be careful as like bumblebee shrimp they can be aggressive to other shrimp. Also, a 45g is huge for bongo shrimp. Even in my 29g I had trouble finding them most of the time.

I was worried the tank was too big. Oh well, thanks for the input!
