Cleaning crew help for pico

[EmergencyRn]

I have my pico 2.5G AGA cycling now. Gonna add cleaning crew soon. Was thinking of one turbo snail and 1 blue hermit crab.

What do you guys have in your Pico for cleaning crew?

ive got a scarlet hermit and 2 astreas. the only problem with astreas (and therefore turbos) is that theyre kinda large and pretty clumsy so they send stuff flying every once in a while. other than that theyve done a good job. i used to have blue legs but they didnt live very long for me.

I wouldnt do the turbo snail at all. ESPECIALLY in a pico. Those things knock over rocks that are 5 pounds apiece in my bigger tanks (which is one reason i never use them) but in a nano it would be total destruction. It would knock over rock and corals.

I'd go with like 3 cerith snails and maybe an astrea or 2. (astreas dont get that big. At least none of mine are and i've had em for a year).

I wouldnt get that blueleg either, because once you add those ceriths, it will be going after them to get their shells. Even if you put in extra shells for them, every hermit i've ever had has ended up killing a cerith for its shell.
