Aquarium Advice Freak
I planted some live plants in my aquarium, now I have 4 snails! They have cleared up almost all of the diatoms/brown algae that was all over the tank and the water is crystal clear... I read that snails multiply like rabbits, what should I do about this? I like how the snails help with algae, but don't want them taking over.. Is there another alternative? The snails are in a 10 but I would like to know for my other tanks as well!
I have also been wondering about shrimp! Are they supposed to clean the tank as well? Do they multiply like snails? I don't want a mass of shrimp either!
I recently purchased a 55 gallon and I have read and seen pictures of someone using an "egg .... Something, like egg rack or something" what is that? Is that for the gas bubbles? I have read something about gas getting trapped in substrate if not moved around enough!?
Do I have to have something for circulation in my tanks? I have my filter, and that stream of water gives off quite a bit of flow, but am I supposed to have more?
I think that is all for now, thank you in advance!
