Is This Too Many?

[fish_keeper2]

in my ten gal nano ive been wanting to add a cleaner shrimp but i cant decide between a skunk cleaner and a blood red fire shrimp so i was thinking i would get both since they have no impact on the bio load. but my concern is that they may not have much room. my tank is ten gal so with an arrow crab, a skunk cleaner and blood fire shrimp will they have enough room to roam around on the LR or would it be too cramped? your help will be appreciated.

skunks and bloods are both community shrimp and will do better with more than one of their kind. I'd pick one kind and get two as opposed to one of each.

Even Two Blood Shrimps will hide more than they are out. I would go with Two Skunk Cleaners as you'll see more of them.

3 bloods minimum. If you have less then you probably will never see them.

1 Cleaner (skunk) will be on show at all times so there is no need for more than one but they are social so always good to add more.

the way the caves are set up in my tank i get a good view into them so i can still see them hiding. so would my tank be ok with having 1 arrow crab, 1 skunk cleaner, and 1 blood red fire shrimp or will they not have enough space to move around.

Doesn't matter what your caves are like, if something wants to hide it will.

As said before less than 3 Blood shrimps you will not see them
