Hey everyone. I would like to add some snails to my 20 gallon FOWLR. I would like 2 species. What two species do you recommend and how many of each? I want them to clean my glass and my sand bed and live rock. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Astrea and Nassarius snails seem to be the most common. Both can flip themselves back over which is a huge advantage. Astrea will clean the rock and glass, Nassa snails bury themselves in the sand.
The nassa snails for sure no. But you should look to get rid of the CC soon anyway. It will trap waste and bad things and eventually become a nitrate factory, causing you a huge headache. I would replace it with aragonite. Don't do it all at once though. in 1/4 or 1/3 is what i see recommended most often.
