Would like to have more shrimp

Well, being a beginner and so on. I have 1 cleaner shrimp and he seems fine. I kinda wnated more shrimp, or is it a bad idea to add more then 1 shrimp? If not what other shrimp can i add? Thats not aggresive, reef safe, and dont have to worry about direct feeding.

Or can i just add 1 more cleaner shrimp?

 

Most shrimp like to be in groups.

I only have 1 cleaner shrimp but I will get another soon.

They pair up and will spawn. At bare minimum the baby shrimp get turned into fish and coral food. But someone somehow will get them to have babies and get them to live.

 

Theres always camels,peppermints and bloods

 

I have 3 peppermints... love them...
Would like to have some cleaners though

 

Safest bet since you have a smaller tank is to add another cleaner. They should do fine together, but make sure to start doing manual feedings maybe twice a week or so to ensure they get enough food, else the dominant one will starve out the weaker one.

 

do cleaner shrimp only eat fish food?
And also should i be concerned on what size cleaner shrimp I should get?

(Liek for clown...i had a big clown, so I bought a small clown so they wont fight. )

 

They will eat just about anything so to answer your question yes they will eat fish food.

 

Yep, they eat just about everything. I hand feed my pair Omega flakes a few times a week. They also scavenger for leftovers.
Size should not really matter much.

 

Ive been told that camel shrimp will eat polyps,might want to stay away from those if you have or intend to add any corals.

 

Funny this came up today. Just came home to a preggo cleaner!
