Invert Sexy Time!
Hi all,
I have a 12g nano I'm starting up and really love the odder creatures. The only fish I really plan on putting in it is a small shrimp goby with pistol partner.
So since I want a mostly invert and odd creature tank I'm trying to get an idea for what sort of species will play nice with each other and how many of what I can get away with putting in there.
The tank has a lot of rockwork. Almost the entire bottom is my 2 base rocks with a tiny sandy area. Rock work sort of scales up and forms some top bridges.
The goal is corals of a mixed variety and some snazzy inverts to do their thing.
Right now I'm at the end of my cycle and have a few scarlet and blue legged hermits in there and a few narc. snails. I will possibly remove a snail and hermir or two as I add other things that do their same job.
So I'm thinking a few sexy shrimp, porcelin crab or two (once my DSB and general micro critters and plants can support them), a large feather duster/coco worm, shrimp goby and partner pistol. After that I'm sort of stuck on other odd things I can put in.
I'm looking for suggestions and any info on the things I already mentioned regarding them not being a good choice.
Thanks!
(p.s. I would just like to note that I blame harlequin shrimp for being so cool getting me sucked into starting a tank. That's what I get for buying one as a bday present for my brother. No, I will not be putting harlies in, not anytime soon at least, can't afford the time or money to care for em)
