Hi!
I am super new to fish and tanks. About 3 months ago I set up my first 10 gallon with live plants, some drift wood and a Marineland Penguin 150 biofilter. I have 5 male guppies, 3 cory cats (1 albino, 1 panda and 1 emerald) and a siamese algae eater. Since Labor Day I have been battling snails. Just when I think I have gotten rid of all of them and any egg sacks, I find three more. I have heard Assassin snails work really well, but I feel like I am already overstocked. Would it be a good idea to get an Assasin? Or would it totally push my tank over the edge? Or do I just have to live with the snails and get rid of them manually as I find them?
Thanks!
Wendy
