sorry im late
an algea wafer every couple of days would do fine for a snail or two
for a 46 gallon you could have
top: 6 marbled or silver or marbled hatchets
mid-top: 2 angelfish (they eat neons and cardinals)
mid- bottom: 2 schools of 6 tetras besides neons and cardinals (so you could have lemon tetras, diamond tetras, red eye tetras, black skirt tetras etc.) OR one big one of 12
bottom: 6 corydoras like peppered, juhli, or schwartz's (if you get pandas you can either bump up the tetras number to 14 [altogether, for example, two schools of 7 or one of 6 and the other 8, or one of 14] or you could raise the corydoras number to 7)
all over: 2 snails
