Hi There,
Hope everyone is well.
I have a question about rotating my "cleanup Crew" between tanks.
I have my aquarium set up in a way that I am happy with and have a blue crayfish with some fish that he can live with quite well. However, I can't have a cleanup crew in my aquarium because anything on the bottom he kills. Ottos do alright, but sometimes he gets them and nerite snails never last 24 hours.
I'm wondering about getting a small second tank (10 Gal) to keep a couple of Nerite Snails and Ottos in and perhaps once a month pulling the crayfish and putting him in the smaller tank and moving the snails and ottos into the big tank for a week to clean and switching back.
So my ultimate question is, can I just move the crayfish and the cleaning crew between tanks somewhat regularly like that, or would that represent a bad practice.
Thanks for any feedback,
Matthew
