I need suggestions, please.
Best clean up crew for my 3 gallon nano?
Best fish for my 3 gallon nano? I was thinking one turbo snail, two of the tiniest hermet crabs I can find, an emrald crab and a peppermint shrimp?? As for fish I was thinking a green chromis, cheap and pretty and they stay small. I have deep sand so was thinking a small jaw fish or some other sand loving fish?? Any thought or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Some details on tank : 3.3 gallon 2" of sand,ten pounds I know it's way to much... 3 pounds of live rock rubble Water depth 8" to 9" Live rock has tons of Hitchhikers, mushrooms,coco worms, different algae ect. All doing well I use a hang on back filter meant for a 10 to 15 gallon tank,it has a replaceable cartridge filter and a bio filter that looks like a mass of black worms.. Tank temp is 80 f

I would probably do one hermit (but something nice like a Halloween), one snail, and the peppermint. I wouldn't see much of a point with the emerald.
If you want a crab, I would suggest maybe a porcelain crab. They are far more lively, and their diet is more filter feeder style. Emeralds would probably die off quickly in a small tank like that. As for the chromis, they definitely are not a nano fish. They prefer to be in groups, and are also very active swimmers. I would stick to a small clownfish or a clown goby. Jawfish are not nano fish either. They probably need at least 20-30 gallons. With the deep sand bed, You could get away with a pistol shrimp and goby pair. In a tank this small.. I would stick to one fish max.

yes I was going to suggest a Halloween hermit as well. They are the best cleaners out there for algae on rocks IMO. I would also stay clear of the chromis , maybe look at some of the smaller blennys they have great personality . Had a few griesenger gobies a while back when I had a nano a little bit harder to find but one of the coolest fish out there. Or you could look for a panda gobie also not as common but would be perfect for a nano .

A deep sandbed can cause issues, so be aware of what you're getting into
I haven't retained all I read about them, so you'll have to look on the web All I remember is I stay away from them

You could do a shrimp goby pair like the candy cane shrimp they are like an 1" long and one of the small goby's randals I think only get 2" I can't remember but there are some small ones my bro has a 5 gallon with them awesome little guys mess up the sand a lot but cool to look at

I'm definitely going with a shrimp gobie combo! As for deep sand,I know I messed that up. That's why I'm looking for sand dwelling criters and fish... I heard of snails that burrow in the sand as well??
