Recommendation for next purchase...

[smalls383]

Tank is about 2.5 months old.....so far I have

6 Astraea Snails
6 Nerite Snails
14 Nassarius Snails
2 Scarlet Hermits

What would be a good idea for a next CUC purchase....A shrimp? More Crabs? Or a fish?

I have been feeding the nassarius snails raw table shrimp because there is not that much food in the tank for them. Do I need to provide food for the 2 hermits or will they eat the detrius in the back or my tank....

get a fish you can add more cuc later, theres already 28 in the tank, try something else

I went with a couple of shrimp next and it worked well for me. Got a peppermint and a skunk.
Started feeding the tank maybe a 1/4 to 1/8 of a frozen cube of food a day.
Then a month or so later bought my first fish.... a blenny... love him.

nitrates never even bumped that I could tell
wade
