Serpent star. I have one in my twenty gallon and it is a character, feed it silversides.

I hope more people respond. I just set up my 5g nano. Cycling now.

Haha yah me too it's hard to find info on 5g aquariums. Don't Serpant stars get like 1ft

pom pom crab!

Yeah they get large but at the same time they are still a small central disk with long legs. They can make themselves very compact and mine doesn't roam around very much he pretty much stays under the same rock. Your other choices are pretty much going to be hermit crabs, snails or flat crabs like emerald crabs. Or shrimp. Alot of people like to put sexy shrimp in a small tank they are a smaller species.

Sexy shrimp will do great in your 5 gallon.They are always out and moving.

I'm planning in adding a sexy shrimp and maybe a neon goby... A couple crabs too.

Nice, I'll try 1 neon, 1 watchman and a sexy shrimp. Think that'll work?

I would only do the neon,watchman need larger tanks.You can do more inverts.Also advise doing a 50% water change every two weeks.Also do at least three sexy shrimp,they like to be in a group.

Sounds good. Think I could do 2 neons? 2 shrimps and a few Misc crabs.

As long as you do the water changes and keep eye parameters.Depends on the type crabs.

Probably a total of 5 red and blue legged and 5 snails.
