oh! Also, I would like to have some low light plants but are there any that the apple snails won't eat?
First freshwater tank. Ideas, thoughts?
- Thread starter in the pines
- Start date
pomacea bridgesii ("mystery snails") do not eat healthy plants. They only eat decaying plant matter. They are easily fed with veggies to supplement their diet 
Your stocking sounds nice, you mmight consider having only male guppies to get rid of teh overpopulation issues that arise with livebearers.
All my tanks with snails are heavily planted, so it should not be a problem

As far as I'm concerned my tank is stocked. All I need now are the actual fish when the cycling is done. I'll PM you when my tank is ready and see when you are shipping, is that ok?
Again, thanks so much for your ideas and help.
How many of each species? You can still try kuhli loaches. Unlike other loaches, kuhlis do not eat snails and shrimps so you are pretty much fine with those. Keep 6-8 for a 30g along with 6-8 cories (avoid the bronchis).
I really would like the kuhli loaches in my tank. If they won't bother the snails, that is. I think they are fascinating. I guess it would be either the cories or the loaches, not both, bc I do want tetras and guppies. I think I'm at max capacity as it is. I don't know how many of the guppies or tetras; as much as I can fit in there without doing any harm to the community, I guess.
Are kuhlis active?
