Snails in my tank

[papabear24]

Hello,

I have 5 cerith snails,3 bumble bee snails,3 super tongan snails, and two pacific conch snails. I am trying to find out info about care, feeding, and husbandry. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. thanks

they will live off the algae in your tank, what size is it?

it is a ten gallon glass tank. Running for 6 months. Temp reads a stable 80 degrees, 1.023 sg, marineland HOB Bio- wheel filter, Sea Clone 100 protein skimmer, undergravel filter super charged with two power sweep power heads, 14 lbs live rock, 2 inch bed of crushed coral, 1 10,000 k daylight, 1 actinic, 2 moonlight leds. I am concerned that there is not enough algea in the tank for all those hungry guys and gals. Would supplenting with some small pecies of raw shrimp be advised? I have noticed that the Conch snails stay at the top of the tank litterally at the waters edge and will not venture lower in the tank.
