    I have a 75 gal. and yesterday I added 4 red leg hermit crabs, a couple of turbo snails, and 2 larger snails. (Mexican maybe) I came home from work today and it looks like mouse droppings all over the bottom of my aquarium. Like I said, I've neverseen this before, Anybody know whats going on??? Please advice :confused:

    Turbo poop

    Sorry can't send pics, but if you have seen 150 mouse turds thats what the bottom of my tank looks like. Ok, If it is turbo poop, is it dangerous, what do I do about it, and will it continue? Sorry about the pics
