Hmm…rules of thumb. I'm sure I have some.

Cerrith snails reproduce in your tank, giving you multiple sized cleaners. Crabs will eat algae, if that's all there is to eat. Once they taste fish food, they are worthless algae eaters. Take pictures. You can look back and see what's happening over time. Take plenty of time to just sit and observe your aquarium and think (and enjoy!). Before making any big changes, think about the possible outcomes, don't rush into doing anything. When trying to solve a problem, ask "How would Mother Nature do it?"
