Need recommendations for Cleaning Crew

[ozy]

I have a tank of fierce fish like triggers and porcupines. Any recommendations for cleaning crews? I think prawns, snails and crabs are out of the pictures.

i have given up introducing cleaning crew in my triggers' tank..

but i still have few turbo snails and a sea cucumber that are unharm (yet?? hope not.. )

so, unfortuantely, the best cleaning crew is still the 'human octopus'

I hv 2 cukes n i must say its amazing the way they really clean up my sand. Even my clown trigger leave them alone. Initally he took a bite at one of them n then decided to not touch them anymore hahaha must taste yucky

emerald crabs eat macros, if you don't have macros then you shouldn't be needing them.

[ozy]

won't the triggers and puffers wack them too?

[ryz]

depends.

You can pm me...I have a sponge crab that I want to let go..it's in a rock..and only moves around by lifting the rock around the tank so that it is forever concealed under the rock...no fishes can get to it even if they overturn the rock cause the hole in the rock is quite deep.

So in the end you fish see a moving rock.

Black Sea Cukes are the best for your tank I think..

yes totally agree with blacknails. The best sand cleaners i ever had & i hv tried most of the usual stuff- crabs etc etc. These were not readily available in the past but thks to the surge in interest these couple of yrs, we can hv these unsightly but very efficient n interesting creatures in or tanks. Unpalatable to most tank habitants. Plus they r cheap.
