Clean up crew for Marmorkreb tank?

[Mavrick813]

Any ideas of fish I can put in the Marmorkreb 20G that will clean up after them, but not eat any free swimmer babies?

TTT

Anyone got any ideas?

unfortunately it would seem your best bet for a clean up crew is yourself... since either the crays will eat the fish, or the fish may potentially eat the young crays...

I see your sig shows Snails in your Marble tank? Is that for clean up or just because?

Dude...there is no better clean up crew then themselves.Period.
You shouldn't be feeding them more than they can eat, or what you reasonably consider too much.
Look where in the water column crays live in nature.Things fall when missed, they live where it falls.And at the same time, you can feed less like that.As I like to do.Not only as a mini fast for them, but so they can get some cleaning done as well.

I've kept them in 2.5's with only airstones and they did the rest.Well I obviously changed the water.

I do have an apple snail in my cray tank (not that i would suggest it), but the only reason shes in there is because she is a voracious plant eater and i can't keep her in a planted tank, not to mention if she went in with my fahka she'd turn into a snack real quick...
