How do these wonderful critters naturally keep a clean aquarium? They bring your mini-ecosystem full circle by feeding on the build-up of waste, algae, and nitrates that cause algae.

Aquarium Cleaning Invertebrates: Inverts that Clean Your Tank!

Crabs

  • Crabs are crucial for maintaining a clean aquarium!
  • You can reduce algae and waste by just keeping the number of crabs in your tank at the optimal level.
  • Experts recommend maintaining 1 blue leg hermit crab per gallon.
  • Diversity is critical!  There are so many types of crabs (we sell 7 - 10 varieties of hermit crabs - some of which are seasonal)

 Snails

  • Snails are great aquarium-cleaning inverts. They eat algae and the nitrates that cause algae. Particularly Nassarius Vibex are the Queen Gems - they eat the YUCK that causes nitrates which feed the algae. So if you want less algae you MUST reduce the nitrates first.
  • It is recommended to have 1-2 snails per gallon.
  • Once again - diversity is the name of the game - this is a classic game of divide and conquer.

 Starfish

  • Starfish are the all around natural janitors, one of the best aquarium-cleaning invertebrates! They're such great cleaners because they spend most of the day hours hiding among the live rock, keeping the hard to reach areas clean and void of debris.
  • One Brittle or Serpent Starfish is recommended per 20 gallons.
  • One Sand Sifting Starfish per 50 gallons -

NOTE: Tanks under 50 gallons should not employ Sand Sifting Starfish - they require more nutrients than the tank can provide to maintain these animals at an optimal level.
