Hey Everyone --
I'm getting some new cleaners today (snails and hermits), and have the QT all set, ready to go -- but how long to keep them in there, and what signs of trouble do I look for? I normally QT fish for a couple of weeks, looking for ick, spots, clamped fins, and the like. But how do you tell if a snail has issues?
Also, I'd appreciate any tips on acclimating them to the tank, other than the usual routine for fish.
Thanks.
Matt
