best cleaning crew?

[spector101]

I need something that is good at cleaning up the extra krill that is left by my fish. I'm getting tried of cleaning it with a net
thanks

Try hermit crabs .They do a pretty good job of eating the left over krill in my tank.

I agree with hermits, and our pistol shrimp does a great job of getting any meaty leftovers for himself.

thanks I will order a buch of hermits. I would get a pistol shrimp but I have a box fish that would eat it. so far the box fish has left the few hermits I have alone.

If you have to clean up the leftovers with a net try feeding a little less. A clean up crew is still a good idea.

I very much agree here. If you have to scoop out excess food with a net then you are feeding way too much. If you have snails then the hermits will kill them for their shell. You can add extra shells, but they will still do it.

If you want something a little different you can try a purple reef lobster. Very cool addition

i agree with feeding less.
