I need ideas for my new 12 gallon -
Would have liked to have picked a fish and planned a tank around it, but this 12gallon fell in my lap and now I need to figure out what to put in it once it's matured.
Definitly want some bumble bee snails and a sexy shrimp - but I need more invert and fish ideas. Would love to see what you guys have!!

Wow you guys! Awesome stocklists... :cheer:
I get to start my tank cycle this weekend :joy: :joy: :joy:
I've got a bit of time before I can get any critters, but here's my idea so far:
15lbs aragonite
don't know how much live rock yet, have to check prices and sales at my LFSs
2 perculas (decided I liked em better than firefish - which were my original choice)
1 featherduster
5 bubmble bee snails
1 fire shrimp
1 sexy shrimp
2 either blue or scarlet hermits
zoos and shrooms
and if all that works out well, I'd really like to try my hand at a lettuce nudibranch :yes:
Whadya think?

i think that is a great stocking list and i love my lettuce nudibranch i think they are great for nanos. Just make sure that they nudibranch cant get stuck in your pump intake.

mimzy, watch your sexy shrimp with the clowns. My two ocellaris thought that they could play with my new sexy shrimp and ended up killing it. Even after it died during the night the next day they were playing tag with it. One would have it in its mouth and the other one chasing it. Not a commical scene as I was not happy with them. We have never had them here before and they said that all fish will leave them alone, right.... :mad:

how long has all this been in your tank?
what kind of starfish... ?
you have a heavy bioload... what do you use to counter that?
