i have never kept a mantis shrimp before but my brother saw a peakock and has now decided to keep one. so i was thinking for him to be in a 24 gallon current aquapod and dosing c balance and kents iodine. there would be a few corals in there. maybe some zoos, shrooms, maybe frogspawn or some other lps. now i read that for a cleanup crew you can use large turbos so i was thinking abnout 4 or 6. Is there any small fish i can keep in there with it. idk if you guys do but id love to hear about the experiences. any and all sugestions will help.
thanks
 
I have a large 4" allardi clown with my peacock in a 26 gal, starfish like choco chip stars, and brittle stars work well it seems, but you may want to start out with a damsel to see how yours responds, I know some have claimed theirs will decimate anything that ener THEIR tank! My peacock is rather sweet, and outgoing, and only kills the occassional crayfish gladiators I put in there for battle...
