[Laura1841]

Ood morning all! I have a 64litre tank which is about 17 us gallons I think ( for my friends across the pond) I have 5 danios and a little female fighter, and now my tank Is fully cycled and looking amazing I want to get some lovely little algae eaters but not sure what the best thing would be for my community and size!!! Any help?!? Thanks

Actually for that size tank you should look into nerite snails. They can't breed in freshwater so you only have as many snails as you put in. They come in different sizes, colors, and shell types. Horned nerites are the smallest and I love the shells on them. Tiger nerites are the largest but you can get them in different colors and shell patterns. Olive nerites are the common ones, middle sized and shell color ranges from olive green to a coffee bean brown. They do very well at keeping a tank clean with hardly any bio-load added to your tank.
