Chili crabs can be mixed with shrimps.

It will prey on some small shrimp-like fish, such as crystal shrimp, and is often seen holding dead shrimp in its pincers. Chili crabs have a strong sense of dominance, and they are often seen fighting for territory, so it is enough to keep 5 in a small tank.
