How many snails per gallon? -im thinking 2 for every 5 gallons

also how many hermits per gallon?
 
As your heart desires!

Actually just depends on how much algae/food is availible in the system. Hermit crabs usually end up killing each other for shells.
 
I've got a 28 gallon Nano Cube, I currently have -

6 Bumblebee
4 Nerite
3 Cerith
4 Astrea
2 Trochus
3 Margarita (used to be 5 until Jeckyl & Hyde - my Peppermint Shrimp - took 2 out)
5 Nassarius

3 Red Tip Hemits (used to be 4 until Jeckyl & Hyde took 1 out)
3 Blue Leg Hermits
1 Emerald Crab
2 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Skunk Cleaner
 
^ peppermint shrimp won't kill anything...

They were probably already dead and he was scavenging the remains. Not only that but bumblebee snails can kill other snails and hermit crabs will kill snails or each other if there isn't enough shells.
