Will my tank fit a cleaner shrimp ?

[newreeferr]

tanks been getting dirty and only have about 5-6 snails. Just they seem most reef safe so I’ve stuck with them tanks going on 3 months. Wanted to get a shrimp but are they feed safe and would it ever fit it my tank 13.5 fluval evo have 2 small clowns , cardinal , and a royal gramma. If not a cleaner shrimp what do you guys think to beef up the CUC all being reed safe as well thank you

cleaner shrimp don’t actually clean the tank and that thank is too small. Hermits and snails are best for your standard CUC. Check out and click on 10 gallon kits to give you an idea of what you would want

notice how all your fish are swimming right up near the surface, I think you have oxygen issue in your tank, the water surface is very still. Its good for the tank to have flow, get a powerhead and aim it at the water surface to create agitation and help with gas exchange to get oxygen in the water.

Exactly, he needs to point those return nozzles up towards the surface or get a small powerhead.

OP no shrimp but get 5 scarlet leg hermits which are fine in nano tank and make your water surface look like this.
