Current CUC:
10ish astrea snails
6ish dwarf hermits (blue and red leg)
1 coral banded shrimp
1 stomatella snail
1 emerald crab
2 nassarus snails
Looking at:
5 astrea snails
10 dwarf hermits (blue leg)
1 emerald crab
10 nassarus snails
2 fighting conch
1 porcelain crab
4 cerith snails
4 peppermint shrimp
2 chestnut turbo snails
and if I can find them, 5 or 6 ringed or money cowrie. (cyprae annulus or monetus, respectively)
Questions:
1. Will the CBS attack the peppermint shrimp in a 55 or is there enough room for everyone to be happy? And if I can find a reasonably priced Cleaner Shrimp, will the CBS attack him?
2. How many different crab species can I house in a 55? I found that emeralds are tolerant of each other online, but not sure of the rest. I did have a sally light foot crab for awhile but found him dead one day. I don't know if he had it out with the emerald or if something else happened. They seemed to get along fine while he was around...
3. Is that list of snails too much for the tank to feed?
4. I read that the fighting conchs won't climb the glass or rocks cuz they're too big and bulky, so they stick to the sand. So is two too many for mmm... 6ishx48 inches of sand? Says online they get to 3-4 inches...
Thank you for any advice and any nudging you can offer! I really appreciate it!
