I have 3 peppermint shrimp in my 24 gal. nano and I am wanting to add 3 sexy shrimp. Do you think the sexy shrimp will survive with my peppermint shrimp? I am also wanting to add in the future a blood shrimp, what do you think?
 
I've had 3 peppermints and a sexy shrimp in my tanks for over 18 months.

They all started in one of my nanos then migrated to my 55.

All of them adapted both to the move and each other just fine.
 
I have 2 sexy shrimp with a large cleaner shrimp my daughter calls peppermint without any problems in the 29g. I don't have any experience with actual peppermints though but I think they'll be ok.
 
I've always liked the blood shrimp but as of yet haven't had one.

I do know some shrimps will cannabalize each other and or eat other species, but in my experience, all I can vouch for is peppermints with sexy shrimp.

I can also tell you DO NOT put any shrimp in with a strawberry dottyback unless you want to feed the fish. LOL.
 
I think you would be fine mixing them together, most of the cleaner shrimp are more scavenger than preditorial.

Just make sure to feed the shrimp tank pretty generously. I enjoy having pairs of shrimp in my tanks as well because when they breed they offer free fish food to the other inhabitants of the tank. :lol:
