I have a lot of brown algae in my tank and a little bit of green algae as well. Are there any snails that you recommend to take care of this? I don't want them to overpopulate my tank, but I do have access to assassin snails (at my lfs) if necessary, although it is my understanding that that won't completely alleviate the problem. I have heard that horned nerite snails are good? Any suggestions? The important thing is that they eat algae and don't grow in population quickly. I would rather have shrimp, but they don't eat algae.
