Snails or crabs or both?

[bigkai]

I'm about to make a order and going to restock my clean up crew. And don't know if I want to add crabs this time or not? They tend to eat my snails lol.

I would go all snails. I will never add crabs again only thing I think they are good for is killing off your cuc. I know you can just add bigger shells but I don't want them all over my sandbed in hopes they use it.

Personally I like to have both with a focus on snails but have the crabs in there as well. They do tend to get to the extra food or dead critters faster than the snails do.

Thumbs down on crabs. A couple of hermits are ok. I have maybe 4 in my 34g
