Best cleanup crew combo

[lamjiasheng]

What are the best cleanup crew for a 25 Gallon tank.
Looking for combo that can clean both glass and sand.

Hermit/ Conch/ Trochus/ Turbo/ Nassarius Snail etc
Six line wrasse eat snail ?
Does Hermit crab eat trochus snail ?
Best snail that would breed itself in tank ?

P.s. NO SAND SIFTING GOBIES !!! Both goby jump out of tank even with a lid on :/

Kind of depends what you have to 'clean up'. maybe something like...

4 trochus
5 Nassarius
5 cerith
30 Dwarf Ceriths
1 tiger conch

This is kind of what I'm looking at for mine which is a similar sized tank. (Minus the conch which my gf refuses to let me buy since it and I quote "Looks gross")

Hermit crabs are fun too, Scarlet legged and the blue legged ones. If you are fine with them eating the occasional snail they are a blast to watch run around. Some of the snails will probably breed anyways so it shouldnt be a big deal to keep a couple...Some also buy empty shells and scatter them around the tank for the hermits to upgrade to and have mercy on the snails.

Tuxedo urchin another good option if you have a lot of algae. Keep in mind if you run out of algae you will have to spot feed it and the conch.

Does Turbo snail breed as good as trochus snail and can turbo flip themself up ?

Turbo Snails cannot but they are very hardy otherwise and eat a lot of algae. Good alternative to trochus.

Best advice I have seen in a long time
@Budman93

I have all the above and more, you can't beat a good cuc and they do alot of work

Turbo snails are awesome!! absolute algae smashers. They are just on the large side kind of like bulldozers.

Trochus snails- work hard, don’t get massive, generally stay in the tank, can flip themselves, are capable of reproducing in your tank.

What about Astraea snails? I tried avoiding them because of the whole flip over and die thing. Once I got some, they are top notch when it comes to cleaning!

Believe everything was addressed above except the 6 line. Haven't heard of them bothering snails. Will not be a good fit in a 25 gallon either though.
