Snail Problem

[drillsar2]

I addd live plants the other day, tank is still cycling. I have a 10 gallon with a penguin 150

is it possible I can add 1 of Angelicus Loach? or they wont work in a 10, I also heard they prefer schools but do you have to?

They do prefer groups. I think a ten is too small. Why don't you just get a piece of zucchini or cucumber, boil it(so it sinks) and place it in the tank. The snails will flock to it. You then remove the zucchini/cucumber now covered with feeding snails. Repeat as needed.

snails are a great indicator to show if you been over feeding your tanks or not.

it tends to be a very bad idea to suggest fish in ways to so called fix a problem. more so when that fish does best in schools and reach over a foot.
