    i need to get a peppermint shrimp for the apatia i have growing, but in liveaquaria.com
    Marine Compatability Chart

    the chart says, dwarf angel and invertibrates it says C for caution. Will it be a bad move to add a shrimp? I currently dont own any shrimps yet

    Should be okay. If you are getting a peppermint for apt. control, be sure you get the right sup species and that it is wild caught otherwise they typically wont touch aptasia. Even mine, which are that sub species (which is escaping me, google it) and wild caught, have stopped eating the aptasia because they developed a taste for the mysis

    most dwarf angels are perfectly fine with ornamental shrimp, its the larger ones you have to worry about.
