Critter time

Once you tank has cycled it is time to start adding a cleaning crew. Snails, hermit crabs, slugs, crabs, and shrimp. Once my tank was cycled I added 12 snails and 12 hermit crabs. Not enough for my 30 gallon tank though. I recommend 1.5 janitor per gallon of water. I also added 5 peppermint shrimp to the aquarium as well because they are great scavengers, but only come out from hiding at night.
