Crabs & Snails
Hello all again i have a few questions about what type of snails and crabs to put in my 45 gallon reef tank as of now I have only 2 emerald crabs and about 4 baby snails that was living in the live rock and live sand. Why do you need so many wouldn't that crowd the tank? I have a lot of the brown alage and other stuff growning on my rocks. What crabs & snails will do the trick for me and what does each type mainly eat need to mix it up so no-one dies.....

LOL!!
I just wanted to reply so you could see my sig... Do a search on "clean up" or "snails" I am sure you will find some great info. Additionally if you give us some more background on your tank, such as how long has it been set up, and what substrate you have, it will help us give you better answers... I wouldn't want to recommend Nassarious Vibex snails if you have a bare bottom tank for example... OH YA, WELCOME TO REEFLAND!!! |
