I wanna get a clean up crew for my 29L with 3 fishes in it but I dont want to get more than I need to. Is this too many inverts?
10 Juvenile Nerite Snails
10 Nassarius Snails
5 Juvenile Stocky Snails
5 Dwarf White Leg Hermits
5 Blue Leg Hermits
1 Juvenile Porcelain Crab
1 Juvenile Pencil Urchin
1 Juvenile Green Emerald Crab
1 Juvenile Lettuce Nudibranch
Any thoughts are more than welcome.

looks good for an established tank...for a new tank i would go very slow adding them...say one group every two weeks or so..other wise they will likely starve...

start with the nassarius...i think those are the most benificial..then the hermits to clean the rocks..then how ever you want after that...

instead of the pencil urchin you may want to get a tuxedo instead they stay about 2"

i say lose the urchin altogether once the fun in having one is gone all it does is move things around and up root frags from the sand mine loves to carry all sorts of crap around
