    Clean up crew?

    I just started a 28g nano cube. I have one damsel and one clownfish. I got the damsel about two weeks ago and the clown three days ago. I want to know when is the right time to get a clean up crew. and if I should get them all at the same time or just a few at a time as I increase the amount of fish.

    How old is the tank. You don;t want to add to many crittrs to fast, and you don't want add thing you don't need right now.

    At the most i might add a few snails and a few crabs, thats about it. Maybe, a small serpant star fish.

    three or four crabs ..small blue leg hermits

    one or two Nassarius Snails and one astraea snail.

    This way you have something to work your rock, your sand and tiny crevices where food my get trapped during feeding.
    I swim with them, eat them, catch them, care for them, but never get tired of "them"....

    IF YOUR TANK IS CYCLED,you may add your cleanup crew.That should have been the first thing added.
