Need an opinion on stocking list for 22.4gal cube

[higher99]

long story short
lfs(probably never going to them again) gave me the wrong shrimp and info, internet lied to me, here told me the internet lied to me to set it all straight(google lied, not r2r) the shrimp proceeded to eat I think a couple fish, it was either 1 or 2, ate a starfish, ate new hermit crab, ate a couple snails. it was a disaster. not doing pistol shrimp until I get bigger tank

I have a pistol shrimp coming soon! Did you get the tiger pistol shrimp? I have not heard of any cases where they eat other fish.

It's a scavenger like most inverts so it probably snacked on some dead specimens.

Based on the swim patterns of the Flame Hawk and Longnose Hawk, I would definitely rule out the Longnose, and say that the Flame is very "iffy" for that size tank, unless the tank had exceptionally minimal other inhabitants. (I have a Longnose in my 150-gallon now, and a Flame in a 15-gallon quarantine tank, getting ready for the 150. Conceivable the Flame could 'hop and perch around' a 22-gallon tank, but as someone else suggested, a 40-gallon would be more appropriate.)
