Cleanup Crew For 10 Gallon Frag Tank?

[BamboozleBean]

I have a 10 gallon frag tank bare bottom setup with minimal rock work, just a small cave and some rubble rock.
I also have an open open top, any ideas?

You probably don't need too much of a cuc with just a small frag tank like that. I'd probably go with like 5 hermits and 5 snails. Something simple.

So many cuc seem to die off soon after introduction because they have nothing to eat. I wouldn't use any kind of "formula," rather you might want to watch closely what is going on in your tank and then choose particular types and numbers of a cuc to keep it where you want it.

This is a good point. I probably only have like 1/2 of my cuc left. I love having lots of little hermits running around, but you have to be able to sustain them.

Agree with all above. Would also tilt towards hermits bc of the good work they do on frag plugs.

It’s high up on a homemade PVC rack, with egg crate, wouldn’t the hermits have a hard time moving around on it?
