I started up a plant tank with some pond plants about five
weeks ago. I've
been doing this slowly, adding Trace Elements, C02, Macro
Nutrients, etc.
This past week the plants started looking pretty good,
although I think my
light levels are still too low (55 gal : 144 CF Watts).
But now I have
snails. Stagnant Pond Snails I think. Could these things
take five weeks to
hatch?

I want to make this a Community Tank once I'm happy with
the plants, so what
tropical fish will eat the snails. I like the Clown
Loaches, but they will
grow too big for this tank. Do any of the smaller Loaches
like snails, maybe
a Yoyo Loach?

In my tanks my Skunk botia seem to do a better
snail-eating job than the Yo-Yo loaches (different
species are in different tanks).
