Adding crabs or snails to new 75 gallon

[Lgara1303]

Hello all again,
Just looking for quick advice I setup a 75 gallon and it has been running a week now and mainly cycled I will say as all my levels and annomia have been good for awhile with this I added 3 PJS after 3 days of cycle after using live sand, rock and live bacteria and when the Annomia had spiked and went down they have been doing great besides day one.. One of them got to close to the wavemaker but I think he learned lol. Anyways everything is doing good my question is I mainly feed Brine shrimp at morning but during the day or at night I will drop a few pellets in there for them and they don't always get them so I would like to add maybe 1-2 snails or crabs to get the extra food and such but want to make sure it is not to soon for them like I said I only want one or two so they do not starve or anything. I will also be QT another fish soon to add so feeding will go up in a few weeks.

I'd start with 3 blue leg hermits and 2 snails

What kind of snails do you recommend?

Your ammonia should always be zero. I would definitely not add any more fish for at least a month.

Who ever said my annomia wasn’t zero ?
I said I added my pjs after my annoima had spiked and went down? It has not been up since the cycle ?

Ok I misunderstood.

It is alright the way I worded it may have been confusing. I just would not be adding anything if there was annomia or be asking lol I have tested my annoima 2 times a day just to make sure there is no other spike as I added three fish that may not be considered as hardy as others. So I was already risking it I feel.

I would add either nassarius snails, ateraea snails, and or cerith snails.

I have a good selection of astra snails near me so that’s good

Do you guys line bumblebee I know it’s hit or miss I just like them. I have been adding some to my 46 gallon just not sure if they’re even worth it now

I don't have any bumble bees, but I have heard that can have a propensity for killing other snails, as they are opportunistic meat eaters
