In my tanks the snails eat the molts almost as soon as they hit the bottom.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

you may think that they are lazy but like i said i have four and molts are gone overnight. i put ~20 MTS in there two weeks ago and havent seen any in three days. i have only seen one attack during that time so they are sneaky. the only thing lazy about them is that they seem to ride around on each other all the time.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

i think tim is out anyway, i bought the last 15 horned nerites that he had for sale. they are darn cool though. azgardens.com will send them to your door and you can mix and match. snails ship very well. otos + nerites + amano shrimp + SAE + ancistrus catfish are the best algae crew to get and probably in that order. SAE are awesome for BBA so that why i look for them.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

I've been reading that stiphodens work well for all types of filamentous algae and they don't go after shrimp/small fish.700g Mini-Monster tank

wow those are fantastic looking freshwater gobie! i just read they like 15-20 times tank volume water turnover (s. percnopterygionus) and plenty of algae. that would be a cool addition to a tank but i think the shrimps would look like leaves in the wind lol75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish
