Ok cool

 

[Fishman007]

Get some red legged hermits, about 5 and a emerald crab that will do!

 

[POLARBEAR0871]

How much do those cost on average

 

[Big Tex]

Ok cool

if you dont have a clean up crew, get at least 3 cerith snais, 3 nassarius snails, and 3 turbo snails, and 9 blue leg hermits, if you want get a pair of shrimp a skunk cleaner shrimp and a peppermint shrimp.

 

[Fishman007]

How much do those cost on average

The hermit crabs are about 1.50$ and the emerald is 6$ so they are pretty cheap but only get 5 hermits because they will fight if there are more and 1-2 emeralds. Also as someone said before you should get a peppermint shrimp they are great and are always on the job

 

[POLARBEAR0871]

Are those red legged crabs really small and always climb on rocks and everything if so my LFS I think is just giving them away haha

You don't need ANY crabs or snails. All you need to do is feed sparingly and do water changes to remove excessive nutrients. Increase the flow inside the tank if a lot of uneaten food and fish poop is settling on the rock.
All adding a bunch of eating, pooping critters is going to do is shrink your wallet.

Haha it's all good there I don't even have a wallet and if I did my money would be straight on my tanks I'm 16 and have nothing else to spend it on haha
