Aquarium Advice Addict
So ive had these guys before when i had tanks with a sand substrate to stop it from compacting. I was wondering if they would be usefull in keeping gravel cleaner. I know id still have to gravel vac but if i add them to my sons tank i was hoping they would be able to get all the way through and eat the left over food and muck that gets stuck in it? i have the corys and they do a great job eating all the foid that gets missed by the others but they cant get right under the gravel like the snails could. Do they eliminate more waste than they create? I just want to weigh up the pros and cons off adding tjem to this tank since they are not the easiest things to get rid of and assasin snail wont be an option if i change my mind since i have other snail i dont want massacred
