I can't really say as every tank is going to be different wit regards to set-up and inhabitants. I also have 3 Cleaner shrimp, 2 Fire and 3 Peppermint shrimp with more being introduced in the near future! As long as they have food and communal, peaceful tank mates you should be fine with more IMO. They aren't aggressive or boisterous and are definitely beneficial to a reef tank, so having a large number of shrimp should be very nice and entertaining!

I have 2 pepperment shrimps and 2 cleaners. They get along fine and not only do they act as a medical team they are also great at keeping your tank clean.
