snails

I got a great deal on large mexican turbo snails. 1$ each. I bought 10 for my 2 14g biocubes
Im putting 5 in each. Is this too much? I have 6 snails in each tank total.

Also got a kickass deal on a harlequin shrimp. Paid 20$ for him.

What are they going to eat? Hopefully you can find something to feed them till you get rid of them.

Plenty of algae on glass and rocks also algae wafers and nori

Harlequin shrimp only eat sta.r fish. I'm sure you know that but wanted to mention it anyway. Good luck great looking shrimp

Yeah I did alot of research a couple of months ago and couldn't pass it up. Im gonna give him some linckia for now. How often should I feed him?

Nice looking shrimp. They're so nice looking. Don't wanna buy and feed starfish though.

Yeah I would hate to kill a starfish just to feed another fish. Unfortunately the harlequins are too awesome to pass up

Im gonna try to give him 1-2 frozen legs a week. Should be plenty

Where do you get frozen starfish legs from?

I had 10 Mexican turbo snails in my 65g and they made a mess of everything. They knocked over all the frag plugs and even some small rocks. They did a great job taking care of the Algae. But slowly died off over time. I think I have about 4 remaining. And I don't plan on getting them again. Since your tanks are so small, you might need to add supplemental food. Maybe Algae sheets.

Buy a starfish and freeze it xD
