Hi all,
So I got plants for my 55g tank in mid March and had not seen any snails before, but recently I've been finding the little buggers left and right in my tank. I think they are little pond snails. I've read from a lot of people that they're usually unwanted and incompatible but its my first experience with them.
I have 3 adult angelfish, 5 chinese algae eaters and one crayfish in the tank.
Do I need to worry about them? What are the pros/cons of leaving them vs removing them? What would be the way to go about getting rid of them? They are hard to grab being so small and many times I end up dropping them into the substrate and having a hard time finding them there.
Thanks for your input!
