I am thinking about getting some zebra hermits, does anyone have them and if so what are you thoughts on them, thanks?
I didn't know that Zebra's or hc's booted snails from their shells. Is this common? I just lost two turbos and one of my hc's moved into it's shell!nccoastal said:same as most hermits eat algae and will evict a snail for its shell when it needs to. i have 20 of them, never harmed anything else besides those unlucky snail.
Well, at least that explains why my snails were dying. My water quality is great (even with the snail sitting dead in the tank, my quality only modified a little). Any suggestions on what I can do to prevent this from happening again. The snails are 3 bucks and the crabs are only 99 cents. I don't want to buy more snails jsut to have them killed off.sapgranth25 said:hermit crabs blue red zebra all compete 4 shell`s & seen as crabs put up a fight 4 there shell your turbo snails are a very easy target sorry this is very common all hermits love a new shell
