Cleaner VS Fire Shrimp

[joeyjoeq]

Which is better to have a cleaner shrimp or a fire shrimp? They both eat parasites so besides that what else do they do good?

I have one of each. The fire shrimp looks cool, but the cleaner is more active. The fire shrimp only seems to want to do anything at night. I did notice a little hostility between the two now they have their on half of the tank.

Really? Not in Chicago atleast, Fire Shrimps range from $30-45 and cleaners from $20-30. Pepermints are expensive too at $15-20. Dam these stores *crazysmil lol

They are the other way around at my LFS. I do like the fire shrimp though. They have a nice color.
