Stocking help for 29 gallon

Oh man, looks like I might have to thin the heard. Or let them fight it out. Most of the cerith snails have been on the glass towards the top so the hermits can't reach them for now. Everyone (on another forum) was suggesting dwarf hermits to me because of my size tank, saying that they always stay smallish. Wonderful...
I guess I'll see how it goes for a little. First snail I notice missing will spark a culling, lol.
 
You can also ask your lfs for a bunch of empty cerith shells and that should hold them off for a bit.
 
Additionally, if you're using Babylon snails, and not Nasssarius snails, be aware these are predatory snails that will not hesitate to eat other snails. Asking on other forums is encouraged, but different people have different opinions per forum (as witnessed by your dwarf hermit crab problem).
 
Yes I discovered that after purchase through research. So far though they've just been eating the sinking pellets so I'll keep my fingers crossed. (And also feed them some meatier portions)
