I had two in this past year. One lived for about 9 months or so. It's just disappeared one day. I just couldn't find it or maybe the clown ate him for dinner. The other one lived for about a month. It got sucked in by the powerhead and never recovered.

I had plans of putting fish in my nano... and after adding a cleaner shrimp a day ago, I think I'm just gonna lay off on the fish and add another shrimp. These guys are soooo sweet. Way more fun and personality than I've seen out of a fish. I accidentally dropped one of my suction cups in the water when I took my heater out and he has been pushing it around the tank all day and fighting with it. Such comedy.
