I recommend a cleaner shrimp. I have 2 and they are great additions. very active & fun to watch plus they "clean" your fish of parasites which is very cool to watch as well

Well I would recommend nassarius snails but you already are getting them, Astrea snails are also nice. I would stay away from mexican turbos because my personal experience is that although they are awesome cleaners they don't live long and when they die you have a huge dead snail to worry about that could mess up your water chemistry. As far as shrimps I like skunk cleaner shrimp because they are nice to look at, peaceful and it is interesting to watch their interaction with fish. You can keep more then one cleaner shrimp too which is nice.
