You fine.Tank wise.Here click this Crabbytalk.com - Hermit Crab Care, food/diet, crabitats, & pictures of land hermit crabs » How Big are Hermit Crabs?
All of them can fit in a 20,gallon.You could only fit one more hermie & it would have to be a mirco.Just add it up.

Hope it helps!

Try craigslist.com or freecycle.com for cheap or free tanks.

I wouldn't keep your jumbo in the 20g with the rest of your hermies. I would recommend at least a 40B for jumbos. I would get him a species buddy. He is fine in the 10g for now, but I would get him more space ASAP...maybe even a buddy to keep him company.

I put the staw in the 20 and the smaller crabs in the ten

I would put the 2,mediums you have in with the straw along with the mediums your going to get from your cousin they would have more room.(The meds)But,that's just me.
