    Mystery snails for algae problem

    In my 20 gallon aquarium, I'm having a small algae bloom that I'm hoping to stop before it gets any worse. I do have a bristlenose plecostomous, but he hasn't been too much of a help; he mostly has an appetite for peas and zucchini. Should a mystery snail help with this much? If not, what other...

    New here!

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum, but have been keeping fish for about a year and a half now. I started my first aquarium on my fourteenth birthday, which was a 10 gallon that contained guppies. Once I began the hobby, I was completely consumed by it, driven by my love for biology and...
