    Just a quick question, but anybody know if sexy shrimp would be compatible with a blood shrimp? I know there my be bullying if food is scarce, but assuming the tank is well fed does anybody see it being an issue? Both will be going into a nano with peaceful, non-aggressive tankmates :)

    Shouldn't have a problem with mixing the two of them. And yes- they will compete over food, but that doesnt mean they'll attack each other- they'll just attack the food.

    Both are pretty peacefull, but please ensure they each have a place of there own to hide. they will stake out their own little place and leave each other alone.
