vinegar!

[sami]

I tried forever to clean an old aquarium i had, and nothing seemed to work! Finally i saw in a different forum to use vinegar to clean it and It worked like a charm! I absolutely love this website! Thankyou to all who have answered my questions also

YEP Vinegar is a good cleaner glad you were able to get it clean

[sami]

Thank you Hermez As soon as i have a bit more time and money Im going to clean it more and start another crabitat. Is it ok to put different species of hermits in the same crabitat?

Yes, it's fine. It seems that people that do this, (myself included) believe that every species should have a buddy. But if you put in strawberries, you would have to make sure that the tank has the special requirements they need.

I'm considering starting an additional crabbitat, maybe i will make this one with just strawberry hermits. I wonder How many species there are and if there's any that require the same care? Either way, i am now going to surf the net (this site included) to find out info about strawberry hermits

Glad to hear you're doing research on the Strawberries before you get any. I don't have any myself, but I've heard they require more care than other species. Good luck!

In the US it is said to be 7- I had all 7 but lost my cavipes over the winter
PP's
E's
Indo
Straw
Viola
Ruggies
Cavipes
there are many many more but that is what the US has and I heard due to drug trafficking that many exotic imports have been halted.
