Hi,
My 55ltr low tech tank is just 2 months old, but heavily planted with a beginners mix and all growing well.
There are no real signs of algae but I do have an abundance of little pond snails, max size about 5mm, some of which I have previously culled.
However I have 3 ottos and 6 dwarf corys so wonder if the snails will be taking too much of their food or are they really just complementing the fish and really keeping the tank clear of excess algae ?
