Hi guys - critter advice needed

[Mitz]

Hi all

Have just registered on this site after weeks of reading, i've learnt a lot of valuable things to be honest! But could really do with all of your expert advice!

I have Juwel 125 Rio, with around 20kg's of liverock, and its been set up for around 4 weeks. The substrtae is large coral gravel pieces ( i really wish i'd put sand in now).I also have 2 common clownfish, 2 snails (turbo's i think), 2 dwarf red legged hermits, 1 dwarf blue legged hermit and a small green emerald crab ( who really is cute!)

I was looking to make additions to my clean up crew, and really wanted to buy some from reef critters (as everyone has said good things about them)But i just dont know exactly what to get. I've seen the critter packs, but are they going to be overkill for the sixe of my tank, as its only a measley 125 litres.

Would anybody able to point me in the direction of what i would need? I was also lookinf for some cleaner and peppermint shrimps too. As my tank has only been running for 4 weeks, would it be too soon to add these?

Sorry for the long post! Would greatly appreciate all your advice.

Cheers guys
Mitz

I would leave off the shrimps for a few more weeks yet. Just to make sure the cycling has got over the worse.

I would recommend some mexican red tip hermits. The 6 that I got are doing a fantastic job in my tank.

Maybe you should get around 15?

Also the mexican turbo snail (black/brown and green/cream) shells are also fantastic.
