I'm doing research on what fish to get next for my 46 gal w/ 45 lbs LR, and 2 clowns..
I'm thikning I might get a yellow watchman Goby w/ a pistol shrimp... I'm just not sure what species to get... I would like a peaceful one (I read that some sting snails/fish). I intend on getting a cleaner shrimp, and maybe a peppermint.
There shouldn't be any drama between all the shrimp, but i'm not sure which pistol's i have to choose from..
Also, would i be ready to add some shrimp?? I started cycling my tank 5-6 weeks ago, added my snails/2 hermits a week ago, and my 2 clowns yesturday...when will i be ready to add shrimp??
thanks
 
Peppermint shrimp have alot of personality, they clean the under my finger nails when i put my hands in. Really funny shrimp

my personal favorite are fire shrimp.
mine doesnt mess with anything in my tank, he just kinda keeps to himself.
btw i added mine after 2 months of starting the tank with no problems.
