my fish

[birdy]

Sounds good to me.

could I put in five peppermint shrimp
and will brittle stars eat fish?
and could I add a eating nudibranch?

 

[birdy]

I would get three peppermints at the most. If you get a brittle star get a small one as they get pretty large. I would stay away from all nudibranches.

1 scarlet skunk cleaner is better than ANY # of peppermints.

I agree, 2 Cleaners are better than 1. PEP's SUCK.

I agree as well. Stick with the three fish and the verts. what kind of lights are you running on your tank?? those brush plants need strong light to do well. well good luck and keep us posted!!!

Why doesn't anyone here like the margarita snail? They go all over cleaning everthing (except sand) and the Velvet black with green striping on their flesh is preety cool.

I have decided not to get the noen gobies. I found a "compatibility chart" of saltwater fish and it said the gobies are not generally compatible with other gobies. Any suggestions. Also in teh very far future I would like to have a tank with 1 radiata lionfish 1 humuhumu triggerfish, 1 hawaiian spotted puffer and 1 naso tang would this work and how big would my tank have to be?
