:help:I have a 10 gallon tank with 2 dwarf frogs, 1 agae eater, 1 snail and 4 guppies. My algae eater has been pestering my snails like crazy. One died last week and now I am worried about the other one.
I heard a clicking noise from my tank and there was the snail getting knocked against the glass by the algae eater. At first I just thought he was cleaning the snail's shell, but then one of the snails died.
Now I have noticed the algae eater bossing the adult female guppies around. For some reason it is leaving the juvenile guppies alone.
I have heard that algae eaters can become more aggressive as they mature, and also that they tend to quit cleaning algae and begin to prefer fish food instead. So far my guy is still a cleaning machine.
Is there anything I can do to keep my snail safe?
