Shrimp questions

[Alright here is the deal. In my original tank, I have a peppermint and a cleaner shrimp. The new tank came with a blood and a coral banded. Can all 4 of these go into a 45 gallon together or will they kill one another?? If so, which one should i get rid of? Also, when a shrimp molts, should you remove it, or just leave it in the tank? I have heard both. Thank you!]
 
[The coral banded shrimp will probably kill the peppermint shrimp if it gets the chance. I had my CBS with my cleaner shrimp for a long time, but one day it killed that too. :very angry:

I don't have a CBS anymore, even though they are beautiful to watch.]
 
[I like them all so im gonna give it a shot. He did alright with a blood shrimp in a 10 gallon tank for the last few days so Im gonna hope for the best. Thanks for the input though]
 
[I had 4 different types in 150 before. I knew I had the CB, blood and cleaner in there but it wasn't until I took the tank down that I realized my camel shrimp were still alive. I hadn't seen them for months. I put the CB in with camels in a 55 gallon tank while I ws sell everyhting off and he made short work of the camels.]
 
[I never saw a cleaner. You only showed my the blood and the CBS. Even Matt doesnt remember a cleaner. Im also positive we didnt bag one up either.]
 
[Well just to let everyone know, the cleaner didnt make it. My buddy thinks he died from acclimation, but I think it was the CBS because everything else made the transfer just fine. The peppermint is doing fine. You see the CBS chasing him around the tank alot, but the peppermint is too fast for him. Learn from mine and marc's experience and dont put a cleaner shrimp in with a CBS. It might be bad news.]
