feed cuc?

Sad to say my clownfish died about a week ago. Since im not feeding anything due to no current fish in my tank, will the clean up crew be ok or should i feed them? Will this cause another cycle in my tank?

depends on what your cuc is. if its hermits, then feed them. if just snails, no need to feed

How's the algae in your tank? What do u have for a CuC? Wouldn't hurt to feed em if your tank is "clean" just keep an eye out for ammonia spikes.

if you have 1 snail and 2 hermit there will be plenty of food and algae for them to eat. would just let the tank sit empty until you decided to buy another fish.

Your crabs would appreciate a very small amount of pellet or flake food every few days untill you add another fish but if you don't feed them you should still be fine.
