Is there any snails that don't eat plants. I'm having a hard time with algae, hair algae ispeshally. I have a flying fox and to pleco's. (This is after I stopped with fertilizers and the lights off for a few days and then for less time )
I have MTS, pond snails, ramshorn snails, spixi, and apple snails and none of them have touched hair algae. I've seen my SAE eat it occasionally.
If you're looking for plant safe snails, I would definatly reccomend Apple snails (Pomacea Bridgesii). They come in amazing colors and are very active and fun to watch.
I have 5 Oto catfish, 2 SAEs, and 1 Flying Fox and my 55 Gallon is essentially algae free. I think the reason i moved from tons of hair algae to no algae was more that i got my CO2 and ferts balanced.
