will 2 cleaner shrimp work.....

I was thinking of getting 2 cleaner shrimp for my 29 gallon. Or one cleaner and one blood red shrimp. Do you think those would be ok in a 29 gallon?
What about 2 cleaner and 4 peppermints? I will have corals eventually so will peppermints bother the corals?

 

pepermints may bother the corals Milomio
they eat Aiptasia and often will browse on other soft and LPS corals

2 cleaner shrimp should be OK, they can be territorial, but not overly aggresive IME

1 cleaner and 1 blood shrimp should also work, I have 2 cleaners and 1 blood in my 75 and do not think they have ever achnowledged each others existance

When I had a blood red and a skunk in the same 135, they stayed on opposite sides of the tank and did show some aggression towards each other if they happened to meet. It wasn't exactly a bloody brawl but wouldn't expect them to be buddies. I would be interested in hearing anyone's story if they had the two species together in a tank as small as a 29.

 

I have two fire shrimp, two cleaner shrimp, and two peppermint shrimp in a 72 bowfront. The shrimp seem to stay in pairs by breed, I dont notice any aggression at all. Had all for about 2 months now.
