Ok, so...recently i got a 35 gallon tank from someone because he needed more space in his house and i brought it home. The tank is HEAVILY planted, with the biggest plants being ozelots swords, and tiny dark crypts as foreground on the right half of the tank, and some stringy plants in front (its not too bad). Oh, one more thing, it has a bad case of SNAILS!~:swear:
So, not liking the sight of gasping mouths on the glass, i thought of yoyo loaches, but my mom didnt approve since they were "ugly", being as the mama boy as i am >.< Im thinking of getting 3 angels since i've read that they can harrass and eat those little crawly things.
And here's where the problem lies:
1. There are tons of DEAD snails on the floor and i cant net them out since my arms arent that long enough to reach down there, the net in my hand can but i cant see where im netting :mad2: and there are tons of them, the guy said that the tank has been establish for 2 years, so this probably wasnt a problem for him, but im worried if i put in the angelfish now, they'll get sick, is there a scavenger for dead snails that would match with angelfish?:help:
2. Im thinking of getting and breeding red cherry shrimp in my other 10 gallon (i only have 2 tanks) so im thinking of moving the cardinal tetras and otos into the 35 gallon to prevent them from eatting the small baby shrimps, bad idea? should i just leave them in there? will they eat the shimps?
3.Im thinking of breeding the angels too, but since im going to get 3 for better chances of a pair, where should i put the extra angelfish since i want the babies to be parent raised, then take them out during the free swimming stage into the shrimp tank ?:silly:
So, suggestions please?
