Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello,
My husband is in the process of re-setting up his 20 gal semi-planted aquarium and letting it cycle. Today we noticed a tiny snail in the tank. Nothing but plants are in the tank ATM so I figure the snail somehow worked it way into the tank via a new pennywort that was purched a few days ago.
We have heard that some snails eat algae, but which ones? At this stage we can not tell what type snail this is, but still wondering what snails actually do, or how benifical they can be.
Thanks,
