    Ok I have one cleaner shrimp in my 15h... I have read that these little guys like to be in pairs.. should I get another? Or just leave it be?

    Here is what I have so far:

    10 hermits
    8 snails
    1 cleaner skunk shrimp
    2 clown
    1 antenna goby
    1 sebae anemone--I know bought before doing enough research, I am watching him he looks really good, good color eating and I will probably find him a home in the next few months because my tank isn't big enough for him.

    I'm holding off on my coral for a little while till my tank has a few weeks to adjust. I'm at work so I can't write down the numbers on all the tests, but they were all in range last night.

    Thanks in advance.. and thank you everyone for answering all these newbie questions I have had.. :p

    They will do fine solitary... You do mean a "skunk" cleaner right?
    Peppermints are the ones that really appreciate a group!
    In your size tank I would personally stick with one cleaner shrimp

    Happy shrimping!

    That's what I was thinking. I don't want my poor CUC to be crammed into my tank... Thanks so much!!!

    I only have one and he seems to be loving life, try getting a manicure from it.
