I just purchase 10 Nassarius Vibex online for my 21g, when they came there was like 25-30 of them, is that ok or to much?
Sarcothelia said:Way too much, even 10 is quite a few too many. I have 4 in my 24 and think that is a bit excessive. Contact the seller or see if your lfs wants some free nassarius, as they sell them for $2-$3 a piece.
Nassarius are NOT algae eaters, they eat excess food and waste. So unless you're feeding 5 times more than your tanks need they will starve.
And lol Carey, if I had 20 in my 24 they'd be bumping into each other constantly,50% of my sand bed is covered in rock and since it's a cube it doesn't have a large bed to begin with.
