    sixline wrasses are cool, so are yellowheaded sleeper gobies, the sleeper goby will sift your sand for you too

    they arent at all but they require a large amount of pods to survive in an aquarium, one of the most beautiful fish though IMO

    copods. Usually need a refugium to give them a safe place to grow and multiply.

    Just did a google search, and supposedly they are easy to culture in almost any aquatic condition.

    yes this is true bu that kind of fish will wipe out a population very quickly, normally for een 1 you need a minumum of a 55 gallon tank, or with his it is possible with say a 10 gallon refugium, this just provides a safe haven in a sence for them to be able to multiply w.o getting eaten, and then the ones that go back into the tank from there become lunch lol.
