[fish keeper32]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I bought a 24 gallon nano cube last christmas and it has been set up ever since. i've got 2 percula clowns, a porceline crab and about 15 pounds of live rock. all is doing well and now i want to add another invert, a cleaner shrimp! i understand that they clean things inlcuding fish are there any candidates that i will b able to house in a 24 gallon nano cube? (i was thinking maybe a lawnmower blenny) thanks #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I think a cleaner shrimp would make a great addition to you small tank. Either a skunk cleaner or perhaps for a Blood Red would add a cool splash of color.

About the lawnmower, he would probably do well if your tank is developing enough algae for him subsist on, or if you find a particular macro algae that he will eat which you can cultivate in the tank easily enough. Ours have learned to eat flake and pellet food as well, but that doesn't appear to the case for everyone.

In any event it sounds like you are doing things the right way, nice and slow.
