I am intrested in getting some inverts in a 20 gallon tank. what are my options. I want to look into some lobsters/crayfish. Or maybe just some shrimp. Any advice?

i not planning on having fish with them..and what is LFS?
Oi. That certainly isn't safe for other inverts, nor fish. Especially in a planted/well covered tank.
Veto on that with other organisms. Lol.
If you're interested in crays for a community tank you want to look into cambareullus shufeldtii (aka cajun cray) and cambarellus patzcuarensis (aka CPO, dwarf patz, or mexican cray).
Paulcm10 said:can you mix CPOs with RCS or Bamboo shrimps? and MTS?
I've seen CPOs in with other Shrimp, BUT they do grab at them. I put my CPOs in with fish only.
Some say they are too slow to catch RCS, but I would hate to see it.

They are fine with MTS and other snails. I've never tried with bamboo shrimp but since the crays are much smaller I think that would probably be OK. I've kept crays and dwarf shrimp together in a larger community tank, but if you cram a bunch of them together in a small tank, something like a 10 gal, I would expect a bit of shrimp murder. I often see other hobbyists keeping the crays with valuable shrimp like CRS so they must be having good results. But it's not unusual for mature crays to pick off very small crays, so the same must happen with the shrimp.
