A new 30g species tank

Hello,

I setup a 30g including a 10g sump/refugium in my office and I am still not sure what species I am going to keep in it.

I was thinking one of the following:

- 1 Peacock Mantis shrimp
- 2 Cuttle fish
- 2 Seahorse
?

What do you think guys or can you recommend any other species I should consider please?

Thanks

I am in the same boat, trying to decide what to put in a smaller species tank. I'd lean towards the mantis shrimp, they are pretty easy to care for. Seahorses and cuttlefish require a lot more work and are more difficult.

i would definitely go with a peacock mantis, very active and beautiful and not as much care as the other species would require. i have one in a 24 and i'm about to get my second one.
