    Turbo: Did you really mean that you have more than 180 hermits in a 40 gallon tank? Wow!
    My sig isn't up to date...I've got about 3 red-legged bahas left, 5 turbos, maybe 8 nassarius snails, and 1 peppermint shrimp left...
    I'm looking to up my numbers of hermits and bring my shrimp back to 2 and get another mithrax...
