Recommended Posts

First off, I do not want any one to take this the wrong way. I am extremely happy to see such active alive snails (including four hermits!!!), but it is too much!!! They are currently acclimating. I have a five gallon and this was my initial CUC that I ordered:

 

5 Dwarf Ceriths
1 Nassarius
2 Nerites
I now have like 40 DCs, three nerites, one GIGANTIC, and two Ns, with a couple hitchiker ones. I cant supply them with this much algae and I havr no food because I did not plan on having a fish for a long while! I do not have anyone, and I mean it, to give them to.
HELP!!! But please do not take it the wrong way I am extremely pleased with health of everything and the quality. Thank you very very much!
P.S the hermits are awesome! They are tiny right now, but should I worry about them when they get bigger?

Just read you have no food. Buy a couple of shrimps in your seafood dept at the grocery feed it in small pieces

I put a little under half of them. Some are really active. A couple of Nassariuses are running all over the tank. That kind of worries me because the others are actually dug in the sand. They are so cool to watch (mainly because other stuff is not in there but still)! The three hermits are moving but not alot.

I wouldn't worry. Feel fortunate that you have such a healthy clean up crew. If you see any die, take them out otherwise don't change anything.

Sorry about the extras! I will talk with the guys. Not sure what ones they sent you. Do you have a pet store nearby that you can donate them to? IF not let me know and I can mail you a box to use to return them.

but yea John gives you so much, one time i filled my 4 gallon with a ton of extras he gave me and had a strictly CUC tank.

 

Add a little food sometimes and they will stay alive.
