Snails
I am about to try my hand at breeding gouramis, and would like to add a few
snails to my fry tank, to help with keeping it clean, (I've read some breeders do this) would MTS's be alright in a fry tank or will they eat the fry? would Ramshorns be better, which ever one I add to the fry tank I want to keep in my main tank initially! Thanks Stu "Wilma Duncan" wrote in message ... The Malaysian trumpet snails do not harm plants or fish. Great for cleaning and airing the substrate. Mystery snails are good also. See my web site about info on snails. Wilma http://www.jayscustomcomputers.com/wilma/ "Stuart Mueller" wrote in message . .. Can anybody recommend what snails to have in my gourami tank. I am thinking trumpet snails. I want to avoid the apple snails as they sound like they get too big. As far as I've found out pond snails are a big no-no. I think I have spotted a couple of Ramshorn snails in at the moment, I took one out yesterday, it had a dark brown shell in a tight curl, it wasn't trumpet shaped but rather round and the snail was stuck to the front glass. However I have read that these relish hygrophilia, which I have quite a bit of =( So the only other one I can get is trumpet, unless there is another type. do the trumpet snails eat algae, or left over food? I know they burrow through the substrate. What would you recommend? Thanks Stu |
