Aquarium Advice Freak
So I'm still a little unsure about if/when I want to add a single snail to my 28 gallon community tank or not. I was most interested in a zebra nerite snail, but they seem difficult to sex and I don't want a female laying eggs everywhere...
Do mystery snails breed by themselves? Not particularly interested in hermaphroditic snails because I don't want any more than one :'I
I wouldn't call it a "snail problem" but I have a few pest snails that hitchhiked from plants I got at the lfs, but I've been trying to kill them when I can. What about an assassin snail? Can they also eat fish food if there aren't any remaining pest snails? I've heard they've been known to attack shrimp which makes me less interested :c
More or less my specifications are:
Doesn't eat plants
Doesn't lay eggs/reproduce by itself
Doesn't eat/attack amano shrimp
This might be a fruitless search, but thanks for your input anyway!
