Hey guys! I am putting together a 40 breeder and I am in need for some clean up crew ideas. I want to have rather some fire shrimp and/or skunk cleaner shrimp. I would like to hear your suggestions for a full cleanup crew for my tank. Thanks!
 
Cleaner shrimp aren’t really cuc in my opinion. They’re greedy little suckers and will eat what the fish don’t but don’t eat algae or the like.
I’d go with astrea or trochus snails for the rocks and glass and Ceriths (lg or dwarfs) for the sand. I’d also get some hermits (blue, red leg) as they can fit into crannies the snails cannot. Nassarius snails also do a great job eating leftover food on the sand But they’re carnivorous so won’t eat algae.
