Coral Banded Shrimp

[ScorpionSys]

Looking for opinions. I have had this shrimp in my 120g for 3 years now and it comes out every night and is very active. I want to add a skunk and a tiger pistol to the tank but have heard that the Coral Banded will eat them. What do you think?

How arge is the banded shrimp? I have them together in my tank and have so in the past also. Never had a pistol in there though. As long as the Cleaner is close to the same size or larger they should be fine. A 120 is large enough.

ive had my cbs for over a year and i have a mated pair of blood shrimp who he chases around all day but never catches but whenever i add any other shrimps with any type of patterns he"ll chase and kill for some reason including a pistol shrimp who was a good size. Even My anemone porclein crab but he leaves all other porclein crabs alone. I guess he doesnt like anyone who has his same color pattern.
