Looking for something to help sift my sand. I don't really want to have a huge population of snails take over my tank, but if that is the easiest wayto do it, whats the best type to get? What else would help?
 
eartheaters; geophagus; some sand sifting cichlids of course would be ideal depending on your current stock.

Well I have 3 angels, 3 gourami's, 2 mollies, 2 zebra danios (i know i need at least 3 more), a pictus cat, a 8 inch common pleco and a blue lobster. What would you suggest?
 
geos are great sand sifters and so are african arowanas. but i would go with geos

I definitly thought about Cloawn loaches but they require a group usually and they get pretty big. i wouldn't mind having one but from what I have read they do better with groups of 3 or more.

What type of geos would not get beyond 6 inches and are either peaceful or semi aggressive?
