Snail killing hermits
"KurtG" wrote in message . ..
Is there a responsible way to dispose of these guys? I'm ready to pick them out and fling them in the back yard. I love keeping hermits in my tanks. What kind of hermits you have? Any pictures? Maybe I can take this load from you...

They have devastated my copepod population by constantly digging in the sand. My neighbor took my daughter to the beach and they came back with a children's sand bucket full of hermits. I think I started with over a hundred, and I'm down to a more comfortable 30-40 now. I'm having serious nutrient issues from my DSB, so I'd like to get a detrivore population going again. I think the hermits may need to go. --Kurt
