  • Snail trouble

    There are a lot of tiny tiny snails living in my cichlid community tank. When I clean my eheim filters, I found a lot of them at the bottom of the filter or on the coarse pad. I suspect them might slow down the flow of the water through the filter. Is there any safe way to reduce or remove them without stress out my cichlids?

    Add some assassin snails (Anetoma helena) or botias. If you don't have any places that sell snails locally, I can ship some to you.

    Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

      I use both canister filters and udergravel filters. Will assassin snails work?
