    Are there any snails that would be a good clean up crew for a large tank with large aggressive fish?

      My opinion? No.

      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.

            Does it do a good job of cleaning up after the oscars, though? :)

                  how about these? i think i got them with some driftwood. they're spiraled, but flat, not tall like the ramshorns.

                        Good. It would be great to have that information in one place. If you want anymore info on the spiketoped apple snails or the Viv's, let me know and I'll be happy to write a short paper! :P

                        And do include the link to applesnail.net that site has a LOT of info not just on applesnails.

                            fancyfish - the snails are "hippeutis complanatus" or flat ramshorns. cant find much info on them, however.
