Hi all,
I'm looking to add some snails to my 20 gallon planted aquarium. In there I currently have a thriving fern and floating weed of some sort as well as some guppies that are breeding like crazy. I'm using tap water though so the algae is getting a bit out of control and I'd like to add some snails or such to naturally control the problem. I am well aware though that snails reproduce like crazy and could explode in numbers in my peaceful 20 gallon planted tank. I barely know anything about snails so please give me some advice on what snails to add and how many to control the algae. Should I even look into adding some cherry shrimp or some small fish? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Sam
