I know this would probaly be better in Reef Discussion but Since my tank is a nano, I though it would be better here. I lost four clownfish( 2 WC and 2 TB at diff times) and havn't had anything besides some snails in my tank for a while. I'm looking for a fish(es) that is hardy, an active swimmer and doesnt require Quarantine(sp). I do have a QT tank setup but that doesnt have water and I'm done with clownfish, any suggestions, oh and suggest inverts too. You can look at my tank specs in my sig

Some kind of blenny would work. They're active and fun to watch.
I personally like the red lip blenny.

Well, the WC caught some type of bacterial infection in QT, I forgot but it starts with a B, and the TB, I truly couldnt tell you. I didnt QT those because they were TB, and they had been in the LFS for a week or so. The female died first, she was basically torn in half so I removed my peppermint and my hermit crabs and then the male died a week later mysteriously. I thought about not doing fish at all, but i defiantly want one.

how about firefish or sixline wrasse
Yeah. I really like sixlines and firefish but both tend to be jumpers. My legs broke for my light so no it sits on a glass top. The only area that is open is about 2" behind that. I think I could cover it with egg crate. I also though sixlines kinda hid, what about a hi-finned red banded goby. I really like them, although they hide too.
Heres one that I have... great fish!! lots of color and plenty of action:

That sounds fine but curious as to why the sexy shrimp?? They, for the most part, are anemone shrimp. Do plan to have anemone's? It will work with out the anemone's but you will have to have plenty of rock work for best results with those shrimps.
I have the blood red fire shrimp...
...and a cleaner:
The two make a nice addition and show the variety, more natural, like the ocean instead of the same type... just me though... opinions vary
How about a bumble bee shrimp?
Internet info on the bee
The Bumble Bee Shrimp, also known as the Striped Harlequin Shrimp, is common throughout the Indo-Pacific. They are small shrimp only attaining a maximum size of 1 inch. Their body is yellow or white in coloration with black stripes giving them a similar appearance to a bumblebee. The legs and tail may also have orange markings. These shrimp are similar to Harlequin shrimp and feed upon the tube feet of echinoderms.
The Bumble Bee Shrimp is best kept as pairs in a small nano aquarium with moderate light to accommodate easy viewing. They cannot tolerate copper or high nitrates, and iodine levels must be correct and maintained to ensure proper molting.
The Bumble Bee Shrimp will feed upon the tube feet of echinoderms, but do not require them for survival. Offer them pieces of frozen meaty foods such as brine or mysis shrimp, cockle, or small pieces of fish. They should be offered these foods daily.
