Shrimp Suggestions...

[btldreef]

I currently have a 40 gallon up and running and by the end of the week the 155g will be ready to go. We have two medium size cleaners in the 40g. What do you guys suggest for the 155? (BTW, WE HATE PEPPERMINT SHRIMP) We would love to have a coral banded, but could never make it work in a 40 gallon, is it possible in a 155 or should we just add more cleaners? If so, how many more? Thanks

The 155 should provide Adequate room to put a couple of species but more than one coral banded might be pushing it, but hey without pushing the envelope where would we be today????????

Fire shrimp are a good choice as well.
I have a CBS, fire shrimp, cleaner and my peppermints finally died in my 90g.
Frag tank has peppermints and sexy shrimp -- hardly ever see them and doubt you ever would in a 155.

why do you hate peppermints? They are great aiptasia eaters.....I have a cbs and a peppermint in my 29G....
BUT once I catch the cbs it will be in the 225G with 1 cleaner and 1 peppermint

peppermints are definitely great aptasia eaters, BUT we never have luck with them, seem to die fairly quickly with no explanation as to why since everything else, including the cleaners were fine. We also noticed a huge decrease in the amount of copepods in our tank after we added peppermints so we've sworn them off. Everyone has that one marine inhabitant they can't stand, right? LOL
