Temporary CUC Housing

[Colin Levy]

I am upgrading from a 5g to a 25g tank.

The 25g is on finishing up its cycle and should be ready for CUC in the next couple weeks.

I found a good online vendor that sells clean up crew packages for a affordable price, so would like to jump on that and get them ordered tomorrow as I have my vacation this week.

I don't have a quarantine tank or any extra tanks laying around. Would it be okay to put 25 gallons worth of CUC in my 5g tank for a few weeks? It has a good amount of build up for them to munch on, so not too worried about that.

More worried about just having that much in such a small tank and how it will affect what I currently having in my 5g tank.

I wouldn’t. They might start starving and eating each other. Plus, these CUC packages usually sell you way more than you need. Do you have a local store? I’d wait until the new tank is ready before you order them. Snails and crabs are pretty cheap. You could start with a few of each and add more as needed.
