    I just wanted to know if i decided to breed small hermit crabs and some snails (mostly for cleaning crews) what would i need? any special requirements for snail and small hermits reproduction?

    I am interested in breeding dwarf hermit crabs in general and snails, mostly, nerite, spiny star astracea and maybe turbo snails. Would be nice to breed some regular size crabs.

    Snails (that will breed in captivity) just need a good snail environment and nothing that will eat the young. That includes heavy filtration and other tank inhabitants. "A good snail environment" just means lots of food balanced w/ excellent water conditions.
