Good Cleaners

are fighting or queen conchs good?

 

[glow=Black, 2, 900]Hey Roger,

You should probably be buying 20 nassarius snails, instead of 2.  Same thing goes for the blue-legs, and the turbos.  You've got a lot of ground to cover in that 90g tank, and those little critters will have to work their proverbial tails off to get to it all.[/glow] [smiley=hammer.gif]

[glow=Pink, 2, 900]Also, I think the cleaner shrimp with the eel is iffy.  It could work out great, and the shrimp could keep that eel as clean as a whistle.  Or, it could work out badly and that eel could find that shrimp a tasty meal.  It really depends on the eel.  Some predators will tolerate a cleaner shrimp, because of their function.  Other predators don't care, and would rather just have the bite to eat.

Good Luck!!!  And let us know how things are going!!![/glow]​

well wrassman, i was thinking the same thing. i got 8 nassarius snails, 3 turbos, 3 red-legged hermits, 1 brown-legged (big) hermit, 6 blue legged hermits, 1 scarlet cleaner shrimp. so far the eel and the cleaner share the same cave together. the snowflake pays it no mind at all... so far. ;-) should i add a conch, or maybe a tuxedo urchin, or starfish? if my tank is relatively clean, should i give the cleaners supplementary food?
