I have an amano shrimp. If i added a ghost shrimp or two would they get along fine? The amano shrimp is peaceful, just wondering if shrimp are agressive at all.. the one I have now is fine and just hides in a log 24/7 but is there some territorial thing or will everyone be ok?
 
All the shrimp without pincers (claws) get along fine.
that is correct.
any long-arm shrimp (i.e those with claws) are predatory by nature and are unsuitable
for most community tanks. I say most because I have a chameleon shrimp in my 62g
heavily planted tank, and so far he has been "good". I would not however put him in a 20g etc
as this would make it too easy for him to ambush small fish.

A good rule of thumb, if it has claws(pincers) it stays in the shop.
