I have a 38G and i want to add some shrimp, in my past tank i had a CBS, but wasnt too impressed with the usefulness, I am thinking of going with a cleaner shrimp is that a good choice, I figure they are good looking and do a lot for my tank as welll....
thanks

My cleaner shrimp is a very active member of my tank, and has amazing colours, nice bright red with a very vivid white stripe.

but with cleaner shrimp you might get that odd one that just is lazy and waits for food to come to him . And doesnt clean . I got 1 about 8 months ago and notice that he was lazy bought another one they breed on a regular basic and that shrimp love to clean the tank and fish.

I went down and picked up two small cleaner shrimp...both of them are active and when i put them in one of them instantly cleaned my koran angel, so it is good to see they will do well in my tank..thanks for the input..
