Could You Help Me Out With A Customer Please

Heya Guys

Got a customer at work that wants me to suggest some stocking for his marine tank so I thought i'd open it up to you guys!

It's a 180 litre tank with 16kg of LR. It's eventually going to have hermits and shrimp in (so no puffers!) also, long-term it may have one or two soft corals (mainly mushroom rocks and feather dusters). He's got his heart set on about 4-5 fish and wants stuff slighty unusal that will get on with each other, the cleanup crew and the soft corals he will eventually get. I set the tank up so I know it's got excellent filtration and a great skimmer on it so should cope with stocking suggestions you throw at me! I've come up with one or two of my own but just wandered what other people would do in my situation!

Cheers Guys!
Tim

a pair of maroons, pair of bagaii cardinals, and then goby of some sort

Good idea and thanks for your input. I think, if possible, he was after 4 or 5 different fish. So not too sure if he'd like the pairs?

If he's after shrimp then why not get one that forms a symbiotic relationship with something, such as the Blackray shrimp goby (stonogobiops nematodes). Beautiful little Goby, not too sure how readily available they are in the UK though. Or how about a jawfish? Lovely stuff.
