    Hell nooooo... I've been really unlucky. My two peppermint shrimp have on multiple occasions attacked and severely damaged a few of my acans and montis. Ive seen it happen.. If I could catch them I'd feed them to the eel..

    IMO it's not worth the risk.. There's plenty of shrimp out there that shouldn't damage anything. Peppermint shrimp have a bad reputation. They tend to either be a burden, or a devastating pest in your tank.
