I just meant they are large in comparison to Ramshorns. Ive had both Nerite and Ramshorn snails and ive found ramshorns to control algae more affectively. Some people dont like them because of how quickly they reproduce. But Ive grown to love the look of snails ajd even keep two dedicated...

I’d put about 10 in for a tank that size, if they are rams horn snails or Malaysian trumpet snails as they are pretty small. They will multiply eventually. If it’s a nerite snail or a larger type of snail I’d only put 1. I advise against nerite snails and larger snails as they produce a fair...

The only reason to clean the tank is if it doesn’t look good and you want to make it look clean. You’re not obligated to clean any of it. Your main concern should be the quality of the water. If you don’t have a test kit to test ammonia and nitrate levels you should get one. Your ammonia levels...

You seem to have your levels now under control but your tank may be overstocked. Go to the garden store pick up a small pepper plant, rinse the roots and find a way to perch the plant so only the roots are submerged in the tank water. Put a cfl (Fluorescent) light on the plant and it will eat...
