you can get a harlequin shrimp but thats only if you see more, as they only eat starfish and will starve if there isnt any in the tank.

Yes I own two pairs not for pest control but because I wanted them and the cost to feed them is about 60 bucks a month

O no I am sorry to hear that. Would your LFS allow you to rent buy back or give back when no longer needed?

They would have been a special order to even get them so I don’t think that was a option
