Glad to have found this community. I am seeking some advice. I have a large 120 gallon tank. I purchased some fish from my local aquarium fish dealer and some snails got mixed in. I didn't think much of it until .....
... well ... now I have a serious infestation. They are everywhere as you can see from the photos. I don't think they are a problem but ... well ... are they? I don't have live plants or anything but they are definitely uprooting the fake ones. Every time I look in the tank I hear the theme to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in my head ...
... the guy at the fish store recommended a horse faced loach but he didn't have any in stock. I also don't have sand substrate. I read online that these kinds of loaches don't eat snails so I'm not sure why he'd recommend them. I have heard assassin snails are good. I have a couple in my 40 gallon tank that I could move over but they are pretty small.
I could really use some advice.
Thank you so much.
