My Dad gave me his old bookshelf and the top has space for a 3-4g Cube and was thinking about doing a species only tank with some sort of Nano Invert and I'm looking for suggestions, my thoughts include:

•Rock Flower Nem / Nems with Sexy Shrimp / Anemone Crab
•Flame Scallop (I've had success in the past with them) and a pair of Lima Shrimp
•Bumblebee Shrimp

And thats all I could really think of Lol, most likely going to have a bunch of Mangroves and some Macros too

Mangroves are not an ideal fit for a pico build. You could perhaps put one propagule in there for awhile, but it would eventually dominate the entire build. And there's nothing wrong with a display full of roots, but only if that's what you're going for in that look.

I have three sexy shrimp in one of my jars, and without an anemone. I also have a tiny tuxedo urchin in that same build, but will remove it if it runs out of food. You can certainly put three assorted snails in there.
