ch0ch Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I need to know exactly how many snails, shrimp, and crabs i will need for my 5.5 gallon nano... I also want to know what kind i will need? (or what would be good) ( i know turbo snails are good but are the mexican turbo snails better? my friend has to many of them) thank you very much in advance! Link to comment
Reefy Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I think the mexican turbos are cooler water species. Most people put one snail per 2 gallons and one hermit crab per gallon. Make sure your choices are reef-safe though. Link to comment
Dustin Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I would think that 5 crabs is too much, I think 2 or 3 would be good, and then maybe 4 snails. Link to comment
