Invertebrates and cichlids
Are there any good cleaner invertebrates that mbuna cichlids won't have a feeding frenzy over?
I would like to add some kind of shrimp but it seems that most would become a nice little snack.29 gallon cichlid tank
10 gallon kids livebearers tank
5 gallon dirt planted tank

Nope, since critters like shrimps are on the menu for thousands of species.

Daves right. there are species that would be eaten and species that would eat the fish. A couple of species works sometimes but it is always a big gamble to introduce them since they might start eating your fish any day.
Do as I say. Not as I do.
