ok my 55 gallon tank is done cycling and I was wondering when and what kind of clean up crew I need, I want to keep the numbers small. So what would be my best bet?
Thanks for the help! :D
 
not for nothin'...but I would recommend a mixture of snails and hermits to begin with...and don't get the blue-legged snails...the scarlet hermits are much more docile and easier to maintain...turbo snails are good enough for a tank that is just out of cycle...personally I like the mexican turbos...just be sure to put extra shells in the tank for the hermits...as they might want to move to a new house...to get an idea of what you want check out this site...the very first invert package is good...just be sure and I really want to emphasize the fact...enought algae must be present to maintain food for your inverts...

Hey,
A nice mix of stuff will help. I got the Big 20 Bonus +2 for my 55. Probably a few too many hermits but my tank is doing well. The Emeralds Crabs, Cleaner Shrimp and a couple of Brittle Stars are great additions; in my humble opinion.
