I have a 24 gallon nano cube i was wondering what kind of Inertebrates would go best. I want to get 2 flame angles some snails pepermint shrimp.

Something easy to maintain?

I would skip thr Flame Angels period, your tank is too small for them as if you had 2. Plus there would be alot of fighting betwen them in a small tank.

The peppermint shrimp will be fine as well as maybe a fire shrimp or a cleaner shrimp. I would choose a differnt fish other than any angel. They are swimming fish and require room to do so.

As stated above, no flame angels. Your tank isn't really large enough for 1. Two would be asking for trouble. For inverts: I would get around 20 snails total maybe 5-10 blue hermits. Plus the peperment shrimp but they have been known to eat to some polyp corals.
