I have been reading up on fish for my 55g FOWLR. Most of the fish I am interested in will eat invertibrates. What would be a good clean up crew in a tank like this? A Picaso Trigger and a Snowflake eel are at the top of my list.


Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

I have read that if you add hermits to an aggressive tank before the fish are added, that SOMETIMES the fish will just consider them part of the landscape, not sure on that though..

Would I be naieve in thinking if you went the route of lots of teeny tiny critters, like mini-stars and what not that the predators may deem them beneath them?

I've had pep shrimp, hermits, and snails, with a picasso trigger, niger trigger, snowflake, and volitan lion.
Hint if you add the peps and stuff first better odds, if you add them later, do it at night when the lights are off, give em a sporting chance!
Good luck!
