Can't increase the ceiling height too as it is already too tall for a coffee table!

Hello all, I am starting up a new 115G or 430L tank.

Just wondering do I have to get all the hermies at the same size or is it okay to get mostly small ones and a couple of medium or larger ones?

Will I have any problems with bullying or serious fighting?

In Melbourne area, just starting up my 115 G tank.

Don't feel like supporting those pet shops with less than ideal hermit crab conditions, so would like to adopt instead.

Please email me if anyone has any crabs that need a good home.
