I see everybody say u can only have a certain amount of fish but what about Crustaceans?? Like blue legged hermits and emeralds? I got a 25 gallon tank.
 
Theoretically you could fill the tank with them, BUT remember that you have to be able to provide food for them or, like anything else, they will starve. Also remember that inverts do NOT remove nutrients from the tank, they only change the composition of it, so if you are having an algae issue for example, the inverts will help battle the algae, but finding the reason for the algae (over-feeding, too much light, high bioload, etc) is the true solution.
 
Okay thanks, thats great to hear because i want my sea floor to be alive and have them clean a bit too.
 
Also if you do order from Reef Cleaners expect to get a lot more than what you paid for in a good way.
