Advice on cleaners!

[wpayton34]

i need a little help in choseing some cleaners. I have a 24 gal nano. Im new to nanos and i never had to buy my cleaners for my 75 gallon fish/lr only tank. What kind of cleaners should i get, how many and suggestions on first fish. I was thinking of some of the 2 morrown gold strip clowns. Would 3 be to many?? im gonna add the one thats in my 75 gallon to that tank. What ya think of the nano cleaner pack on swf, doesnt it seem kinda excessive for24 gall??

Maroon clowns will probably get too big for a 24g. Also, you probably should avoid housing more than 2 clowns in one tank. The pair will pick on the third-wheel and could even kill it.
As far as cleaners - I would probably get dozen snails, dozen hermits, cleaner shrimp of sorts. That should be a good assortment to start, IMO.

IMO i prefer nassarius snails over hermit crabs. they scavenge just as good if not better and they dont kill snails for their shells. (even if you do have larger extra shells they still will take whatever they want even if it kills snails)
i have a coral banded shrimp - great worker constantly eating...but not the friendliest can get territorial. so you man want a cleaner shrimp or another type.
and turbo/astrea snails do really well also for rocks/glass algae
so for a 24g i would say 1cbs or cleaner shrimp....6 nassarius snails, and 6 turbos

you want to make sure your algae build is decent enough to hold a dozen snails which is why i say start w/ 6 and if you need them you can always get them. sucks if they starve to death
