Question
I am trying to fing scavengers for my tank i have 3 small cooter turtles 3 african cichlids and peacock eel I would like to add either a crayfish or crabs but not sure on compatability.Can you help?

Answer
Hi Anthony, I'm not sure if those would be your best option on scavengers. You can try and see how they react with your other fish but they may nip at your cichlids. I love red tailed sharks, algae eaters, and loaches those are three good scavengers if you need anything else let me know.
