Hi There,
New to this forum. I currently have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with 4 harelquin rosboras and 2 bronze corys. An Amazon sword and a driftwood piece is also in the tank. The tank has been going for 3 months now (after a proper cycle) with no issues other than a pond snail population explosion from either the introduced plant or driftwood. My feedings have been cut back a lot and I manually remove them every day (yes I used the lettuce technique as well but seems they don't like the lettuce I buy as none were on it the next day).
My question is that I feel like my tank is too small to introduce another type of fish that can help keep the snails down and if I use an assasin snail(s) it seems to be hit or miss, so should I move up to a larger size tank and add something like loaches or other snail eating fish (I don't think a puffer would do well in that community)? (little bit of a run on sentence I know....)
Thanks
