I purchased an A-Team Platoon to address a 120 Gallon aquarium that was completely covered with algae. Every surface was green and unrecognizable in original color due to the thick coated, long strand algae that was covering the tank. My plants suffered terribly as they were also covered. I followed his instruction and decided to surprise myself. I walked away from the tank and waited until the next morning. OMG! I could not believe the difference they made overnight. They were moving around like Hazmat at a Chemical spill. By the 5th day every area of my tank was completely devoid of algae. They cleaned the wood, the rocks, the glass the plants and the sub straight. They even cleaned the plastic intake tubes that feed my filters. The algae eating Fiddler Crabs & the algae eating Nerite Snails have created an Environmental Homeland Security team in my aquarium. Id recommend it to anyone.

Bought 6 A-Team sets... arrived in perfect condition, well-packed, etc. Within 48 hours all 6 crabs had diet. Water temp, Ph, and all other parameters right on target. They started eating algae the second they went into my aquarium (after recommended acclimation). Guess what: fiddler crabs need a place to sit above the surface of the water. Recommended if you have a setup where they can air themselves out.

Fun to watch the crabs and the 2 of them are doing a great job keeping the tank clean.

I can't believe how fast these little guys clean up the tank! I ordered 11 'teams' and got 19 crabs and 15 snails! One of the crabs didn't make the trip, but all of the snails did. The crabs have made the substrate immaculate! The snails are making quick work of all of the algea! I just hope I have enough for all of the crabs to eat!

I am writing to admit that when I read your promotion of the "A-Team," I thought that while it was worth a try, it would most likely turn out to be a lot of exaggerated claims. I was prepared to be disappointed.
Having let the "A-team" do their work for a couple of weeks, I am entirely convinced. They have cleaned corners of the tank I couldn't reach, have done a number on flexible piping and equipment, to say nothing of cleaning rocks and decorations. The "A-Team" is absolutely amazingly efficient and the fiddler crabs are fun to watch... I even got some for my wife's 1st grade classroom aquarium to the delight of the 1st graders.
What's not to like? Thanks loads for making these available, so that we home enthusiasts could put these industrious little critters to work for us. Happy New Year.
A-Team should stand for "Amazing Team"
