So since I’m an idiot lol I accidentally posted that before finishing. I have Diatoms and tiny amounts of hair algae. I like hermits and personally don’t like nassarius. I wanted to try an emerald crab. Or should I forget about an emerald and go hermits? Regardless I was gonna get more snails (like 6).
If the conch can’t keep up with the sand will the hermits be good enough? And how many should I get?
get nerite, trochus, and cerith snails in regards to the diatoms/HA.
About how many hermits do you think would be good?
how big is the tank?
24g
would say for a full CUC, look to have:
If I did consider one (and probably a small one) would it replace any snails I would get?
Free snails? Now I can’t wait
I googled cerith snails and apparently they’re hard to breed in captivity but for some reason I have an explosion of these snails. My trochus snails still haven’t bred even though my male snail let out huge amounts of sperm no eggs or all trochus snails are males.
My astrea did that but he was the last one so it didn’t matter
They occupy different biological niches and are complementary to each other, so you wouldn't necessarily reduce the number of snails you'd need.
