    I am assuming like Skunk Shrimp/ Cleaner shrimp?? Mine eat fish poop, spectrum pellets, and rods mostly the same as my other fish.

    Yes, I was more clarifying it for others that may read later. A six inch wrasse would be too large for the tank your size. :)

    Both or those will most likely eat a good pellet food which you will feed your fish already. Peppermints like to graze more on reef rocks and whatnot plus they are very small. Lysmata amboinensis (**skunks are bigger and cooler IMO) plus they don't NEED live rock But they like to hang out on rock more then then sand bottom in my tank.

    The Blood Red (fire red) Cleaners are the cooler of the two I think. They (and the Skunks) are both very neat to watch. Hymenocera picta or Harlequin Shrimp are another one that is really cool to watch IMO. They are pretty too blue and white spotted.

    BTW That snake is off the hook!

    Oh. lol if its that, then well its was a pic taken at singapore zoo. i love reptilez as much as i love fishes(just got an indian roof turtle). unfortunately where i stay, keeping almost any animals accept fishes, dogs and cats is illegal. so i go there every year to fulfil my dreams and yes the main reason is u get almost all aquarium product good brands there and not here in mumbai india. well my cousin sister has shifted to South Carolina (plannin to visit her next year christmas, main reason to buy good stuff for my marine lol)and knows about my passion for aquariums and other animals so from now on i might tell her to get stuff for me so i can save on going to singapore every year. lol.
