Actually that is completely false. They would all starve to death (of course then you could buy more. yay for the LFS!). Number of snails/hermits per gallon is so rudimentary. It is kind of like wattage of light per gallon of inches of fish per gallon. It is just so general it doesn't take into account the details. Things such as amount of rock, surface area of glass, stocking levels, feeding levels and types of fish are all important. It is also important what kind of snails and hermits. Hermits should be kept in small numbers anyways IMO. They are good but they also kill snails and eachother if there are too many.
