Can algae get too thick for snails to feed on?
I tend to only clean the glass on the front face, so algae freely covers the sides and rear and in some spots its quite thickly covered. But i never see snails on the thick algae. I would expect it to be a snail feeding bonanza.
So it got me thinking if somehow a thick coating of algae is less appetising to snails. Or maybe they dont like the feel of thick algae on the glass.
Any thoughts?
