    I would have to say yes, though the Sexy Shrimp are so small that you probably won't see the shrimp that much, which kind of defeats the purpose, unfortunately, as they are pretty shrimp...

    Dont go with just one sexy shrimp. They are very social and will be happiest if kept in odd numbers larger than three. But both are peacful so I dont see why it wouldnt work out.

    Go with three. They will be much happier that way. I would not do a heavy fish load at all though... Maybe just one small firefish. It would make for a very cool little tank though. :)

    yea im worried about overfilling the tank. I have a cherub pygmy angel and a baby clown and a clown goby. plus the fire shrimp not sure if I can fit anymore in there.

    That tank is overstocked already... That angel will get too big for a tank that size. And being in such close quarters with shrimp could lead to disaster there. I wouldnt risk it. Take the angel out if you can if you are going to add any shrimp.

    I was worried about that. The guy I got it from said it should do fine in my tank .. but the tank min is 30 :/ but Im planning on getting a bigger tank soon anyways so he should be fine now. I'll hold off on the shrimp until I upgrade to a bigger tank.
