Re: BUGS ON HERMIE AND SAND!

Post by abegie »

It looks like you are in for a deep clean. You will have to remove and bathe your hermie crabs, clean and sanitize all their toys and dishes. Probably best to throw away your sand and get them new stuff, but depending on what kind of sand you have you can also bake it and clean it that way. There are other options depending on what kind of bugs you have. Not sure where your bugs came from but are you leaving the food in the tank for a long time? Best to replace it every 24 hours so it doesn't rot and attract bugs.

Your post has been merged with the original post regarding pests in your tank. Did you read the recommended links and thoroughly clean the tank?
