shrimps?

i was curious about how many shrimp and crabs you can have in a 56 gallon tank. currently it has 6 pepermint shrimp, 1 anemone shrimp, 1 scarlet cleaner, and 1 sally lightfoot.

the tank also has a heavy reef with a few hard and soft corals, macroalgae, a couple of featherdusters and a few fish..a watchman goby, bicolor blenny, royal gramma, what i BELIEVE to be a dottyback, and a chromis.
there are also two cucombers, two tube anenomes and a rock anemone.

sounds like your maxing out on the shrimps. If you get to many they will sort them selves out.
1 sally is plenty just keep an eye on stuff disappering as they some times are known for killing small fishes and shrimps. Dont panic I said just some times. I had for 2 years and it got pretty big and didnt bother or touch anything.

i used to have two emerald crabs..THOSE guys managed to kill and eat all my stars i had and a few otehr things as well..
the sally is MUCH more sedate than they were.
plus it looks great in the tank
