Considering adding a Shrimp

[FeatherDuster]

I have never owned a shrimp before and decided it might be nice to add one to my 10G. However, I am not familar with SW shrimp and many sites don't list what the minimum tank size is for them. I would love some suggestions. I need one that will be softcoral and featherduster friendly.

all cleaner shrimp, Lysmata sp. and sexy shrimp(soo much fun to watch) should do just fine in a 10 gallon

Thats great to know Germanman.

Would anyone like to list their favorite shrimp? I like ones with personality.

Yep sexy shrimp for me if you want character. They just wiggle their bums all day!!!:dance2:

Cleaner shrimps clean and can be quite amusing in their own way. Mine used to clean my nails for me!!!

I love my cleaner shrimp! I've been changing powerheads today and every time I've put my hand in the tank he's given it a quick clean! He has to thoroughly inspect anything new that goes in the tank and regularly cleans my feather duster - not added fish yet!
