Snailapalooza

[kwandrsn]

Ok I have a 36 gallon aquarium and I ordered some snails and they messed my order up and even after splitting everything I'm going to have around 200 dwarf ceriths and 10 hermits along with the 4 or 5 hermits I already had.

Too much?

I'm going to have over 200 dwarf ceriths, 5 nerites, 5 Florida ceriths, 10 nassarius, 6 astrea, 14 hermits

What can I do to ensure they don't starve?

I make sure to toss food out for the snails and hermits since my tank is still new-ish and not very populated. But if you feel they are not getting enough, sell/give away to other reefers.

Ok cool I was going to feed my fish a little extra I can't believe they sent me over 300 dwarf ceriths and I didn't even order hermits and they sent 18 priority mail and they all lived lol

Was this from reefcleaners? But I hear ya, I got the 90g package with hermits. I would say at least 95% of my package is still going and thriving. And I called mine Snailpocalyspe XD

 

[kwandrsn]

Yeah from reef cleaners lol was expecting a few extra but seriously wow. And the hermits were a cool surprise too. I ordered 15 empty shells and got 18 live hermits instead.

I put up a post in our local reef clubs sale forum said .25 each or is that too much?

Depends for which. For the tiny ones, I would give those away. The others .25 is great I think.

 

[kwandrsn]

Yeah they the dwarfs. Figured AC wants .15 each plus shipping. Figured a dozen for $3 ain't bad. I was only supposed to get 28 of them to begin with and I list count, at 330 lol

That's a LOT of snails. At least your little hermits won't have to fight for shells

 

[kwandrsn]

Reefcleaners.org sends crazy amounts of livestock in your order. I ordered 20 nassarius vibex and got well over 100. Also there were hermit crabs in vibex shells in the bag.
