if you want to feed him an expensive meal sure, other than that no. a mated pair is as far as you can go

I have a huge CBS with 3 camelbacks, 3 fire & a cleaner.

I wouldn't. Some manage to do so especially when they have lots of hiding places for the other shrimp. But too risky for me.

Well, I do have an entire wall of rock to hide in. :)

One observation from my own experience is that CBS do tend to be more relaxed when added to a tank in mated pairs. Most people that report issues with these only have a single cbs..
Just some thoughts into the mix
