So I tried setting up a 20g for sulawesi cardinal shrimp, and I think I've managed to kill them all. Not really sure what went wrong, as all the parameters were spot on as I understand it, but maybe the tank was too new for them.
Anyway, those shrimp are somewhat expensive and I'm not sure if it makes sense to try them again.
So now I've got a heavily planted 20g long with large spotted sulawesi rabbit snails in it and a MTS infestation. Lots of algae growth in the tank. PH is at around 8, and is stabilized by a canister filter filled up mostly with crushed coral.
What should I put in there? I was originally thinking some kind of small puffer, which would eat the MTS, but they'd def kill my rabbit snails too, no? Unless there's a kind that's so small they'd ignore the huge snails, but my experience with puffers aggression tells me this is unlikely.
Any small, cool fish I could do? I could always remove the rabbit snails and go for a puffer after all, I suppose.
Basically looking for something cool that could live in a 20g for life with high pH and plants.
Or should I just wait a couple of months and try the sulawesi cardinal shrimp again?
