I got in an order of ceirth snails, and they are all doing good, but I got a lite surprise. 2 of them arent snails!!! they r hermit crabs that killed snails n took their shells. Now i have them in a seperate container and the snails r all in mytank. BUt what to do with the 2 hermits. I dont want hermits in my tank for that reason. Especially since most of my snails r small.
Can i put those hermits in my Qt till I get better idea? Or should I just add them to the tank since they are stll small?

they can be a clean up crew for your qt.
thats how I obtained a couple hermits myself. its proof that they kill for shells IMO.

if your qt remains empty, then once ro twice a week you could throw a pinch of flake food in there. theyll eat anything and dont need that much
