    My 5g Ecoxotic Pico will be here tomorrow. Next 3..4 weeks will be super exciting cycling time :)

    Meanwhile, I was hoping for some lifestock suggestions. I do not mind if it has only one creature, but I want something very cool.

    Something along the lines of a single mantis shrimp, or lion fish or something, but I know above two are way too big for 5g tank.

    So what would be a cool/unique creature to house in a 5g pico with LR and maybe few zoas?

    Thanks.

    I was daydreaming the other day of doing a fluval edge mantis tank with one of the smaller mantis shrimps, but they are messy enough eaters combined with the small opening at the top for maintenance seemed like a bad idea.

    YWG/shrimp combos seem to be popular in that size tank.

    YWG/pistol shrimp is def an idea.
    Possum Wrasse is another one. He looks unusual enough.

    Any other suggestions?
