Hi there guys well i decided not to go with pistol shrimp and goby cause there a little too hard to find and i dont want to end up with a duo that doesnt match. I decided to go with cleaner skunk shrimp instead. Guess what i discovered there are two different kind (pacific and atlantic) they look almost the same exept for the coloration on the tail. (one has a white bar on the side of the tail the other has white dots on the side of the tail) anyway was wondering if there really is a difference between both kind? And if there isnt cant they mix? (and for that matter can they even be crossbreed)

I think the one with the white bar on his tail is the one that cleans the fish and the tank. I would go with that one since many people say they are great at cleaning.

my skunk cleaner has white dots and he cleans up. I'm not to sure if that really has anything to do with it. I've heard the cleaners won't clean if they aren't hungry or are fed too much and just get used to being fed instead of grazing

go with the pacific not much difference just regions and temprature the atlantic will survive in lower tempratures ,,,,

both are hard to breed captive and both can be kept in groups pairs singular
