I have a 1.5 gallon tank heated and filtered with pond snails and a couple ramshorns, building up stock for a puffer fish I want to get. I have been feeding them pleco logs, lettuce, zuchinni, and spinach, which they all like. The problem is with cleaning the tank. When I siphon all the waste out, i take a good portion of all the little wee baby snails with it because they are in with the algae and stuff. I want the snails to populate and grow as quickly as they are able. I have heard of making gelatin squares with pureed veggies, algae blocks, etc. Do you think these would make the tank easier to clean and less likely to suck up baby snails? Do they break down and spread all around like the pleco logs do?
