Question about saltwater shrimp?

Question

I have a 10 gallon home salt water aquarium that contains 2 camelback shrimp, one fire shrimp, one brittle starfish, one small clown fish, and about 5 small hermit crabs. Would I be safe to add a cleaner shrimp (the tan ones with red and white stripes down the middle)? The shrimp that I have are not aggressive towards each other or any of the others at all.

Answer 1

Yes, it's fine to add 1 Cleaner Shrimp.

But the Clownfish requires a 20 gallon tank minimum (30 is ideal), and the Brittle Star grows too big for a 10 gallon.

E-mail me for any questions!
