Default Shrimp-friendly Fish in my sal****er aq.

I am about to add cleaner shrimp to my new aquarium and am looking for
advice. I do a lot of reading about fish species and really can't find a
lot of fish that are shrimp-friendly. Maybe some of the sites I'm reading
I'm taking too seriously but they are all I have.

I don't want a fish that is so territorial in latter years that a passing
shrimp gets taken out. I don't need a fish that grows big, now has a big
mouth and a shrimp fits right into. I also don't like the idea that I
better feed them right when they get hungry (like I can tell) or they'll
move on to eating tank mates. You get the idea.

Most species of tangs, damsels, etc. seem to be somewhat or very much of a
threat. I keep finding the same few fish over and over again that are
friendly but they are also very boring fish for the tank.

So there you go. I hope to hear some people's input on what cool fish they
have had no problems coinciding with shrimp. ( I really like shrimp! )

Thanks,
Bryan

only astreas and hermits for now




There are a lot of fish you can put in that tank, just about any
Chromis, Blennie, or Goby would be fine with your shrimp, the smaller
wrasses, 6 line, 8 line, smaller clown fish, skunks (not Maroon)
