    How many cleaning crew fish should I get for a 75 gal freshwater tank? The tank has been set up for about 3 months so it is farely well astablished. So far all I have is one rafael catfish that will get approximately 8", he is currently about 1.5" The tank currently consits of community fish, with tiger barbs as the most agressive thing in the tank. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to get?

    freshwater cleaners are kind of tough because the snails are nowhere near hardy enough, at least in my experience, try a pleco or something
