I got 2 cleaner, 1 fire and 1 peppermint in a 10 gallon and they all have their own little areas and get along great. Have been for months now. I plan on getting 3 of each for my 90

oh yeah that will be fine, i have 2 cleaners, a fire shrimp, and 4 peppermints in my 55 gallon (soon to be 90 ) um some times i have to make sure that they get extra food that is fast sinking so the fish wont eat it, but i mean you should in your 120 have enough algae and other things that they eat for it to be fine, um how muhc live rock? i have like 100 pounds so they just each take their own nook or cranny, lol
