okay, well I have decided to take my in a whole new direction. I will be getting fish, but would also like to have many interesting inverts. I have a perpermint shrimp and a skunk cleaner, and will be getting a second skunk cleaner. the perpermint shrimp I am a little confused over. the pepermint shrimps at the LFS are very small, about 1/2", the shrimp I have has grown a hue amount, and is over an inch. the skunk cleaners at the LFS and the one in my tank are the same size, about 1". I am woried that the pepermint shrimp will bully any othes I get because it is so much bigger. I also would like to keep a trio of the pepermint shrimps, would that be too many?
I also plan to get 3-5 sexy shrimp. they are just too cute! as well as a pistol shrimp paired w/ a goby. will they all get along? also, would a falco hawk eat any of these shrimp? I would wait till they are all adults to add the hawk.
