Well here is something I'd like to pass alone. Maybe it could help someone. I have a 110X gal. tank with 2 serverums and few tetra's in it.
About a year ago I bought 20 small Malaysian trumpet snails for the tank, I thought they would be a nice addition to the tank, and they were until their numbers got out of hand. Well needless to say in a very short time the tank was being over run by the snails and they became a nuisance. I mean they were everywhere.
About a month ago I bought a male serverum and was trying to get them to pair off so I added 2 large 4-5 in. Red-tail Tinfoil barbs to the tank to help with this process. As I was told having other fish in the tank sometimes helps them pair off.
Anyways, last week my son and I was looking in the tank and notice that there were no snails to be found anywhere. I mean not one! I even checked at night when they come out more, not one! I looked under the driftwood and everything and there is not one snail left in the tank. Zip, Zero, None!!
So looks like the Barbs have a taste for the malaysian snail, well at least mine does. Snail problem, Gone!
So just wanted to pass this alone, as someone may find this little trick useful for solving their snail problem.
And yes my Serverums did indeed pair up.
