Should work.

Get some assassins snails to get rid of your pest snails.If you can't get any assassins,don't overfeed,and pluck them out buy hand,or set traps for them.

Get a couple more reedfish, they like being in groups, and eat snails too.

Haven't seen any snail eating. Perhaps they only eat larger snails?

Are you sure I should get additional reedfish? They grow to 18" (although they're extremely thin and snakelike)

eventualy you'll want abigger tank for that list, but otherwise I like the mix

I dont see why he would need a bigger tank. With proper water changes and caves his fish will be fine.

I have to agree w/ getting more reedfish. The tank will deffinately be stocked. regular dilligent maitenence should leave the fish happy. personally though I'de get rid of the reed fish and upgrade to a 125 eventually. or keep the reed and get it some friends and go to a 180. I like a well stocked tank.. but not a crowded one.

watch out with the polys and the abfs they will fight but manily the polys grabbing ahold of the abfs or the polys hunting them and abfs jumping.........
