I would be very carefull adding a Cucmeber to your tank, because most of them will nuke your tank them they die. My recommadation would be a black sand sifting Cucuber.

By CUC did you mean "Clean Up Crew" or cucumber?

Clean up crew..
Snails Snails Snaisl
Turbo - 1
Astrea - 2
Cerith - 7
Nass - 7

If you meant clean up crew, I wouldn't over do it. Start off small, depending on how much you feed and the filtration, add more if you need to.

• Nerites are pretty
  • Astreas are great glass cleaners
    Nassarius for stirring the sand bed
  Chestnut Turbos are small and unique

I would avoid hermits if you could. (Murdering ba$tards!)
The real small ones are good for picking in the small nooks in the rock, but they eventually get bigger.

OOPs.... Sorry i have seen the CUC also be used as a shortcut for Cucumber. However, in regard to hermit carbs, I have had no problems with either the Zebra or red scarlet hermit crabs.

ok thank you. i was looking for clean-up-crew. i would like one small red hermit. but i will follow the list that you gave me Prettyboy. thanks again
i was also thinking bout 1 peppermint shrimp.. would he be ok in the 10g?

 

[doggiepuffer]

Peppermint should be fine. They are fun to watch, and will actually help keep the bottom of your tank clean as well.

i have had them before in a bigger tank but now with my current fish i couldnt run the risk of haveing peppermints cuz they might get eaten. that is y i would like 1 in my 10g
