    Well as some of you have seen, my mantis shrimp is longer alive. Not sure what happened..didn't even find the remains. He just disappeared. (Yes, I'm sure. Took absolutely everything out of the tank lol)

    So anyway..Now I am trying to decide on what to put in it next. I'm not going to go with another mantis. I enjoy getting my hands wet every now and then and hate worrying about getting smacked!

    I want to go simple. Maybe just a shrimp/goby pair. If you have any suggestions on a species of each that would be great. Any other suggestions appreciated too!

    Thanks,
    Ivan

    Pistol shrimp, and goby sounds great. A panda goby tank would also be really cool.
    Or you could go the very advanced route,and go wit some small Hippocampus! :)
    (very diifficult to keep) :) Just a few ideas
    Good Luck!

    A few pairs of the Dwarf Seahorse H. Zosterae could easily fit, but it takes a lot of hard work to care for them.

    I'll look into those! Thanks!

    It's already pretty much a reef..just no fish. I've got a pretty good stock of corals and whatnot. I just don't want too heavy of a bioload.
