Invertrebrates Suitable For My Tank

[KieranP]

wow thanks for all the advice everyone, really helpful, i think the lobster and crabs are out of the question but im going to go to a few lfs and see what shrimp and oddballs they have there, may even look at the wrestling halfbeaks for something different, or as said, butterflyfish realy interest me, just something out of the ordinary really! Any more ideas for kinds to get would really help me out, 15gallons are so annoying to stock!

Believe me get a bamboo shrimp or known as the fan shrimps, they grow over 2" (5cm). 

I have a few of these in my 95 litre tank and you are likely to see them all the time. People get the cherry shrimps as they have a nice red, however these bamboo/fan shrimps also get a very beautiful red and orangy colour body with a white stripe from their head to the tail on top which really makes the shrimp stand out. When the beautiful colours come out then you will know when they are happy.You will not need to feed these guys as they go on top of a rock or plant to take their fan shape hands out and collect any food particles that touch his fan shaped hands and eats them. You are likely to see them in the fast currented areas or near filters. 

Believe me these are very entertaining fish to watch once they have settled in the tank, when they swim about they look fasinating with all of their other tiny legs come out to help with his swimming. One of my shrimps got annoyed with one of my fish coming near him all the time, so he chased after him around the tank & and the same happened again but this time the shrimp grabbed on to the fish and the fish was going crazy trying to get him off lol, it was very funny to watch. 

Believe me buy one.
