10g Clean up crew - Would this work?

[mtfish]

I'm looking at getting...
Now
Nassarius Snails x2
Cerith Snail x2
Asteraea x2
Blue leg hermit x1

Soon
Peppermint Shrimp x1

Maybe
emerald crab x1

Does this look like it would work?

I have 6 nassarius in my tank, 4 hermits, 4 cerith and 2 Turbos, 1 harlequin serpent star, and 1 CBS. Since my tank is so new, I add sea weed to the tank every few days so they don't starve.

BTW, nassarius are the coolest... like little submarines for the sand! lol

my 29 is 12 of each cerinth and nassarious, 9 turbos (i didnt feel lie kflipping one over so its a crabs home now haha)

Blue legs are pretty aggressive and I suspect the ceriths will be lunch eventually. I'd recommend a scarlet hermit instead. (Besides they're better looking .)

I'd also skip the astreas and get a Mexican turbo instead. They're algae eating machines and they're not picky about what they eat.



jmo,

Whatever you get, don't get anything too big. My astreae has grown too much since I got him and he knocks everything around.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up being limited by the selection @ my LFS. Here's what I went with:
I bought:

• 2 Nerite Snails
• 3 Cerith Snails
• 2 Turbo Snails
• 2 Red legged hermit
• 1 Emerald Crab
• 1 Peppermint Shrimp

Everyone was acclimated and appears to be doing fine this morning.

Too bad you couldn't get nassarius snails... really, they are cool. Hehehehe
