Cleanup Crew Advice?

Crested · Nov 5, 2018

Hey everyone, I'm currently planning a Fluval 13.5 nano tank and have been doing research on CUC's and think I might have figured it out? I am thinking of doing

1 Turbo
1 Trochus
2 Cerith
2 Astrea
3 Nerite

Let me know what you guys think I should add or take out. I look forward to hearing your advice

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't add a turbo. They just get way to large and require a lot of food. Other then that I like the list!

I've got that tank and have 3 bumble bee (carnivorous), 2 ring cowrie (vegan) and 1 Nassarius (lazy like a student) and a hermit [emoji6]

1 trochus is plenty for that tank.
You can add 1 cerith and 1 nerite just because they are cool and smaller and shouldn't starve.

The 1 per gallon rule should only apply to dwarf ceriths.

If you can find a money cowrie they are silly expensive ($10+) but pretty cool and easy. Ours is 6 years old.

1 regular nassarius to eat extra fish food on the bottom.

That's awesome! I'd love to see pictures

sorry for getting a little off topic, but I was just wondering if you made any modifications to the filtration or if you're just running the stock
