32 gal biocube.
I was wondering I have 2 clowns I'm pretty sure I over feed the more I think about it. Is it possible the hermits and just eating the left over pellet and frozen shrimp I give the 2 clown fish everyday is that why they are slacking on the algae eating?
When I first started it was 6 hermits and 6 cerith snails I'm not worried about the money part I'm more worried about buying more snails just to have the hermits kill them again.
Everytime I go to a fish store as of lately if I see a hermit with different legs than what I have I get them I think I'm up to 9 hermits now 4 different types but it's hard to tell I got a bunch of empty shells and they are always swapping shells. Today it appears to have been a shell swap? Two hermits in opposite shells you can easily tell by the color of the legs.
A second thought occured to me maybe I have too many empty shells and they are spending most of their time changing and claiming shells that they can't be bothered with eating algae?
If I buy SMALL snails will the hermits kill for fun? My algae problem is slowly getting out of hand!
