what type of cleanup crew?
 
for a clownfish breeding tank?
My buddy and I set up 2 55 gallon broodstock tanks and divided them up into 2. Now we are able to keep 2 pairs in each tank without aggression between each pair.
There is currently a 2-4" sand bed, 1 large piece of LR in each side of each tank, water is allowed to pass through between each side. 1 55 has 2 double power filters, the other has a single power filter and a wet/dry. Each tank has a timed light on top.

So what kind of clean up crew for a clown fish breeding tank?

Thanks ALL!

I would go with the usual hermits and snails...a hermit is a hermit as long as it's one that's reef safe...just keep extra shells in the tank and then snails, turbos, margaritas, super tongan nassarius and maybe cerith...some combination of that...hope that helps

I wouldnt put any in there to insure that the eggs are not bothered when the clowns have them. It will only cause stress!

This is kinda what I was thinking.
But I don't seem much harm in a couple turbos.

2 different opinions, anyone else?

Oh, ya. The hermits would probably disturb the eggs...i recant what i said about hermits, but snails would def be good still.
