They also die easily, they need lots of O2... I lost my 6" one when the air pump malfunctioned.

Really?? I had no idea they were that temperamental..
I always assumed they were pretty hardy

and my 5 years old daughter playing with the Manny :)


I'm planning to upgrade the tank in about a year. My Manny is now 5'' long and lives in 120x50x50 cm (48''x20''x20'') tank. I want to buy a 150x60x60 cm (60''x24''x24'') tank next year.
 
He's looking amazing, and that video is too cute. What I'm wondering is how you keep the tank so clean! Especially the anubias

Thank you :) I have Seachem Purigen (2x100 ml) and Seachem Phosguard in my canister filters, I think that these absorbents and Military Helmet snails make my tank and plants so clear (I've never cleaned aquarium glass inside for 7 months :)).

Ah that's good. I need to get some purigen again, works wonders!

Those snails look good. All I have is ramshorns and I don't want to introduce those with my big tank! Will be a nightmare. Do those helmet snails breed in there?

They lay eggs a lot but they don't breed :) ...and are definitely the best aquarium cleaners! I have also Clea helena snails but fortunately they don't kill my Military helmet snails.
