JHG Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) I have a 10G tank running at the moment with Blueleg hermit crabs (x3) and a few Astraea snails for critters. What, if anything else would you recommend I could include. Thanks for your help. J Edited November 21, 2005 by JHG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkWolfe Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Firefish, clownfish, clown gobies...court jester gobies are nice but require somewhat specialized feeding. For something a little more exotic maybe a Yashia Goby and a pistol shrimp pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHG Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I was thinking more along the lines of non-fish inhabitants to put in the tank. As for fish there are a pair of ocellaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murminator Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Sexy shrimp they add nice color and they are cool the way they will hop up on a mushroom and dance away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkWolfe Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ill second the sexy shrimp. i have half a dozen in my 150 and they always catch peoples attention. I have two cleaner shrimp in my 7g minbow that will readily climb on my fingers and do their thing the moment my hand is in their water. Great for introducing people to the hobby, or to pass the time when your board Pom pom crab comes to mind as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogled Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 JHG, do you think you can post a photo of your tank just for kicks? I've always been interested in invertebrates, and marine species seem so much more diverse and colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTR Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) You want oddball inverts for a nano SW setup. Try a pair of these. Harlequin Shrimp. And yes that(starfish) is the only thing they will eat. Edited December 2, 2005 by JSTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my sig for the addy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snailbuddy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have an abalone in my 10 gal - don't see him too often, but he is very cool! My other favorite is a vermitid snail - they attach their shell to something solid, usually the rock, and build their shell up in a cylindar. Fun to watch them go fishing with their mucus strands. For sure get a sexy shrimp! Also a porcelain or anenome crab - they have those nifty fans to catch food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
