chaz, this is a SW tank he is talking about here so those snail options really don't exist

i think the sexy shrimp are a great idea...you could keep a small herd (3?) of them together in your small tank. I have always been fascinated by the so called Bumble Bee shrimp (Gnathophyllum americanum) i have seen on liveaquaria but i have never seen them in person.

Those little bumble bee shrimp amuse me too. I've also only seen them on liveaquaria. I suggest bumblebee snails too, they are cute and in a 2.5 you might have a shot at seeing them. You can find them sometimes in my tank, if you look really hard...
