what fish eat crustaceans?

[Mr. Grumpy Gills]

the platies will eat the "squiggly lines", but this is not looking at the problem. the problem is overfeeding. cut back to 2-3 times a day, and give them half to a third to what you think they need. the "squiggles" will die off and that problem will go away. Now to combat the second problem is the water quality. all of the squigglies are producing waste at an increasing rate.
Water change the crap out of it.
I may sound like a lunitic, but if the current conditions persist there will be worse problems than squigglies.

long story short
dont feed as much
keep up on water changes
sift the sand when doing water changes
that way your sucking up the debris and aerating the sand

Ive heard Clown loaches, Kissers, and Gouramis all eat those

the snails arent bad for the tank, they keep it clean actually, if you want fish that will eat them, look for cichlids. I THINK geos will eat some, mine did anyway, lol.

Like other stated of course cut back on feeding, also while gravel vacuuming hold your thumb on the output of the gravel vac to restrict the flow that way it sucks up the crap but not enough flow to suck up sand.

you never said what your tank size and filtration was, you might be under filtering.

Best answer seen in the thread. Back off on the feeding.

try putting the gravel vac hose in a bucket any sand you suck up will settle to the bottom-rinse it out and put it back -no sand lost
