Breeding clowns...what can i keep with them as far as a clean up crew?

[P-Nut]

I have a pair of snowflake clowns in a separate tank that is connected to my main display.

I was wondering if I could keep a couple of Nassarious snails in there, or if the snails would eat the eggs.

Also, are there any other snails I could keep?

and what about a blue hermit crab?

can someone please move this to the "breeding" forum. I don't know why I posted this here.

Thanks.

The snails haven't bothered my clowns that are laying eggs. I have seen the clowns pick up the snails and move them away from the eggs.

i guess I could always throw the snails in the main tank when/if they lay eggs

I think the snails would be a TON less agressive as oppose to the crabs fwiw

I have breed my clowns and in my experience the female is so overprotective that you don't have to move anything. Also if you actually want to breed them get a small piece of ceramic tile with no coating on from like Home Depot they will use that. Pm if you want more info! Good luck!!!!
