I have nothing to eat them...
Its only 34ls (40 including the filter!) and I dont really fancy shoe-horning in a couple of fish (especially with the temps its been getting to recently)

inhabitants are
2 red legged hermits
1 blue legged hermit
1 Nerite snail (small blue leg decided the other 2 snails shells were better than his own - then changed his mind back to his old one )
2 Nassarius snails (blue legged is now happy in the 3rd ones shell - anyone would think the 8 or so random ones I put in there were't good enough for 'her')
