Right now i have two tanks. 12 g i have two cleaners and a peppermint shrimp. The two cleaners seem to be the dominant guys in there. The peppermint is hanging in. I put hm in there to get rid of my Aiptasia. used to have a a cleaner and a Fire Shrimp in there but the tank crashed when my Anemone died. YOu can guess what happened to them. :cryinga: they got along fine. The Fire shrimp seemed dominant though.
In the 24 g I have 3 Sexy Anemone Shrimp, 1 Peppermint and a White SPot Anemone Shrimp (He is really cool). I am getting a cleaner for that tank too. They all seem to get along fine.
I guess it all depends on how big your tank is and who goes in first.
This link is really good for getting a background on live stock before you buy.

if you do a search for Shrimp or for whatever you are looking for, more than what shows is listed.

You will want no more than one banded coral shrimp if you choose to keep them unless you can get a true mated pair. Otherwise I have kept all kinds of combinations of shrimp with no problems. One shrimp you may want to avoid though is the camel back shrimp because these guys are polyp eaters.
