Invertibrate only tank!?

[fish freak2012]

Some of you may have read my post about sun corals. Now i have another question about what to put in my new 5 gallon eclipse. Like i said it doesnt have the best filtration(a bio wheel,and a carbon filter.) So i was thinking about an invertibrate only tank. Any pics or advice as to what to put in the tak would be great. Thanx

I recommend getting a pair of cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp. I love my fire shrimp. You can hand feed them and they can clean your hands once they get used to you.

2 cleaners will be way to big for that size tank. It would be cool to have a couple of harlequin shrimp, but their diet is very specific...starfish

They are the most beautiful shrimp though.

I love some of the options of invertibrates but i could not handle the shrimp eating the starfish,i would like to stay away from them,any more suggestions. ?

I just said that because many ppl say that the min tank size for one is 1 gallon. I was just making a recommendation. I've seen many a pico tanks with cleaner shrimp in them

yeah fire shrimp>skunk cleaners.
the sexy shrimp and pom pom are definitely nice touches...
I'd get a candy stripe pistol too lol.. that'd be a full house of inverts in that 5gallon lol...
there'd probably be no excess food left over either with that many scavengers hahaha.

i gotta agree with rebel 5 sexy shrimp and a pom pom crab would be sweet especially with some softies. My sexy shrimp love my kenya tree and are always all over it
