I've got a coral banded chrimp and a brittle star fish. If my levels stay good for another 2 weeks I want to start adding fish. Before I do I want to add more of a cleanup crew. What can I put in there with the banded shrimp? Will it kill cleaner shrimps? I like these as they dont seem to hide during the day, like my Banded which only comes out at night. I have a 90 gallon with 15 gallons of water in my sump. What would make a good cleanup crew list to strive for?

You should be good to add a cleaner, especially in a 90. I believe in starting slow w/a clean up crew. I have a 46 gallon & I have 6 cerith snails,3 nassarius,3 bumblebee,a cleaner shrimp,peppermint shrimp,emerald crab,conch,about 8 small hermits,and some snails & starfish that were hitchikers on some live rock. IMO I would add as you go.
