lilj104 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have a 12g Nano cube JBJ and want to start putting other CUC's in the tank currently I have: 4: margarita snails 4: mexican red leg hermits What else can I put in the tank What is my limit, how much is too much? Link to comment
sanchez Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I think CUC doesn't really count towards bioload for the most part as long as stuff isn't dying. You could get a handful of ceriths to lay eggs all over your glass, some nassarius to keep your sandbed mixed up and a handful of stomatellas (if you can find them) as general algae eaters. The hermits will do something, but for the most part they kinda just bum around. Also, the margarita snails aren't really a warm water snail so their life expectancy isn't that long. Link to comment
lilj104 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thank you I will keep a look out and see what I can get going on, right now all is working well so I can't complain but as I increase I expect it to get dirtier in the tank Link to comment
1fishmonger Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Toss in 4 nassarius and a banded trochus. 2 of the best IMO Link to comment
PYA Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 If you can get a small sea hare or tiger conch they would be great. Sea hares are mini lawn MOWERS! Link to comment

I have a 12g, isn't that too small for sea hare. Also I have a sixline wrasse, he won't cause too much trouble with my inverts would he? Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Do not trust a wrasse around any shrimp or worms. Small sixline, and I mean TINY can still kill shrimp its own size! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have a large banded trochus only. Is there any other recomindations on snails to have in the tank? Regarding algae clean up please... Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Basically any snail in this link. As always, hitchhiker snails like stomatellas and collonistas are the most suitable (not to mention able to breed). Ceriths and chitons are other good choices. http://www.chucksaddiction.com/cleanupcrew.html Link to comment
