I'm curious if a Coral Banded Shrimp can defend itself or not with any of these fish.
Red Spotted Hawkfish, Lizard Blenny, Tiger Jawfish, and a Leaf Scorpion Fish. Would these all be ok with crabs as well? |

Coral banded shrimp are pretty tough. He should be fine. Given your stock most crabs should be fine too.

The crabs would be a few mythrax crabs, a few red crabs, one or two porcelain crabs, and sand sifting crabs. I'm also looking at an arrow crab but I've heard they will kill all the other crustaceans in my tank. Is this true? Are the CBS the same as the Arrow Crabs with killing crustaceans?

Leaf Scoprion fish (Rhinopias sp) do get to a fair size. an lfs near me has one that is a good 6" long and has a trapdoor mouth. I would be alittle concerned about having a shrimp in a tank with that. You may be alright, but it only takes a second of failure after years of success for tragedy to occur.
I am not massively up on CBS, but I don't think they tend to ever get a great deal more than 3", with 4" being a good sized specimen. I would be tempted not to try a leaf fish with a CBS. |

I've decided not get a Scorpionfish anyway. I just wanted to know compatibility between the two. They basically eat anything they can fit in their mouths. Will a Coral Banded shrimp get along with any other peaceful fish it's with? Do they attack other inverts? Are arrow crabs compatible with them or anything for that matter?

Oh I though you meant "leaf fish", as in wasp fish.
The only post RE compatability with CBS is on this page. |
