i tried to use the search function but when i put in like cuc or cleaning crew etc nothjing really came up for me..
so i have the nano 28g hqi thats cycling right now and i was looking through the different types of cleaning crew things heres what i was thinking.
turbo/astrea snail - 10
nassarius snail - 10
fire shrimp - 1
peppermint shrimp - 5
emerald crab - 3
these numbers are based on if i was to buy them from saltwaterfish. i can probably get singles or buy in fewer quantity at a local shop.
would this be enough for a 28g tank or is it to much? what would a decent clean up crew.
thx ^^

sounds good! i'd keep an eye on the fire shrimp and peppermints in there together though. might have just been a freak accident, but my fire at my peppermint... not sure why or what happened but he definately had about a 9dollar meal
