      I know nothing about mystery snails. Nerites are good algae eating snails but leave those unsightly eggs every where if you get both sexes

        after looking at the pictures and video I agree with Darbex.

          What kind of lights do you have on the tank?

            How big is the tank? More plecos the faster you will remove it but you dont want to get to many as then you will have to feed them since they will eat up all the algae. I generally only keep enough to control the algae and never really have to worry about feeding them algae wafers.

              +1 and how long do you leave them on? If you cut your lights down it will also help. My tanks are planted so those algae are the nature of the beast in keeping planted can just control it
