Hey guys, got a few questions about snails..
So, first off, I have a weird moldy/fuzzy thing growing on some driftwood, someone said that snails should be able to take care of it.. is that true, or not?
Also, I just generally want a couple of snails for my tank to help with the clean up. I have an Fx5, but I want a little extra help cleaning up any uneaten food. Dont really feel like cleaning my tank every day either.
So, I was wondering what kind of snails would be best for this/these jobs, cleaning the mold/fungus/fuzzy stuff off of the driftwood, and general clean-up? I know Petsmart sells Mystery Snails, but Ive tried them before, and they usually die within a week, for me, not sure why, all my other fish did fine. (And yes, the snails were fed, water parameters fine).
So..? Im going to my LFS later, as they usually have a way better stock. If I dont get any response, I suppose I can look them up and go on instinct/research, but I would rather have firsthand experience/opinions
Thanks everyone..
