| Re: Invert question is that just for starters? you would need alot more snails and crabs for a 50 gallon....isnt the rule like 1 snail/crab per gallon of water or something like that? i just bought another 5 snails and 5 hermit crabs for my 29 gallon....gotta replenish the snail population after the crabs murder them for food and their new home.

| Re: Invert question You could get a "cleaner crew" package. They contain a good assortment of critters. Blue Zoo Aquatics :: Clean-Up Crews Aquarium Algae Reef Cleaner Packages: Algae Eating Fish and Detritus Feeders for Saltwater Aquariums .: Pacific East AquaCulture :. Some links for starters |

| Re: Invert question Also, you need to acclimate your crabs, only if you want them to survive

| Re: Invert question I dont think it is 1 snail/crab per gallon. I thought the general rule was something like 3 or 5 gallons for every one. You would have a huge clean up crew with that many. |
