No by all means Bev you are not a stick in the mud. This is why i posted what i'm doing for this nano. Cause i dont have any idea what to put in there. If it's a big tank well then I your man in a way...

As for the Shrimp I meant that i will have one or the other not all of them.. The free swimming ones i thought about is i very a runt Green chromis that i hve in my 170 gal its about 1
" if that and haven't grown since my 62 gal tank. Ad it should do good in there will see what happens. The chromis is realy easy to catch due to it eats out of my hand and lets me touch him/her..

thanks for the advice and keep the posts coming..

Personally, I would go with only one (not a pair) of the 2" species, and perhaps get a mid-water swimming fish, though I don't know what to recommend in that regard.

Also, DO NOT get a coral banded shrimp! They are predators!!!! Especially in a small tank like yours.

Plus, only go with one species of shrimp, either one blood or four sexy. Or two blood shrimp if you only go with one goby and no other fish.

Try to keep your bioload to a minimum and you won't have cyano or other nuisance algae problems down the road.

Kind of a stick in the mud, aren't I Sorry
