What eats snail poop?!

[Cwazy Clown]

I have one fighting conch that is doing work on my sand bed, but in the process, poops EVERYWHERE and there is alot of poop... I only have 3 small nassarous snails and they are not picking up the slack... what eats poop faster than nassarious snails? should I just get more small nassarious? or should I go grab one or two large tonga(?) nassarious? or is there something else that is recommended? I do water changes once every 2 weeks, and I vacuum as much of it as I can, but a 20% water change in my case it only 1.5 gallons... which is like 20 seconds of siphoning time.. not enough to get it all.

help me here..

thanks in advance.

get some more nassarius snails or look at some cerths snails as they like poop. And try slowing down your siphon might give you some more time to get all te poop

Maybe some worms could help too.

So certh snails like poop more than nassarious?

Maybe I'll grab 1 tongan nassarious and 3 cerths

serpent/brittle stars will eat it I bet. Once saw a serpent star I had grab on to a turd dropped by my gramma about 3 sec after it hit the sand. mmm, steamy!

Well everything poops ,Right? So everytime something poops and something else eats it then it poops and on and on ,till what? I guess then the last animal poops clean water. I don't know. Just blabbering.

Well I ended up buying some more nassarious snails but.... they dont really eat the poop... now I have a gang of crazy nassarious snails whenever I put food in the tank...

Want to trade for some dwarf cerith? cerith are really good at eating poop. I wish I taken the before and after picture of a rock I just put in the tank. Basically I had a rock that is really dirty from the previous owner. I cured the rock and it has a lot of like dead thing hanging on it (dead hair algae). The I removed the cerith of the glass and they went to work on the top on day 1 and bottom on day two and all the gunk was gone! Also if you want a huge order of it let me know. I am thinking of 50 or so.

 

[sullest]

Actually I decide to order 500 dwarf cerith, if anyone is in go to livestock for sale and tell me how many you want. I only need 50 but they have a deep discount at 500

Hey sullest, we are doing a group buy from carribean critters and i am ordering 500 dwarf ceriths also. I am not sure where you are but i am in Edmonds. I am going to keep 200 or so I will have some to trade out.

 

[sullest]

how much is it for 500 at ccriters? reef cleaners have them at 10 cent a pop if you order 500

 

[psb]

I made a mistake. So many snails so many sites. I am putting an order in with reef cleaners that is my own or a I may to get a group by with reef cleaners. I am getting astreas from ccritters.

 

[sullest]

did you put in an order already? Because I got some people who's interested in dwarf ceriths.

 

[jrgilles]

I'd take a few of them, but don't need that many. Let me know when you get them in

 

[psb]

I was planning to put an order in this coming week. The price is great there I am planning to get a number of items. Anybody interested in a group by or splitting snails? I am in the Lynnwood area. I was going to order the 500 ceriths also.

 

[jrgilles]

[psb]
