So how many snails are too many? My snails are starting to take over, which I suspect is not good. I tried baiting them with cucumber to no avail. They didn't take the bait.
What should I do, get assasin snails? If so, how many? The guy at the LFS told me that they are no good because once they eat all the snails, you have to get more snails!
I do think I'm probably over-feeding the tank. I'll do less food, and there is now a lot of algae. I just moved a pleco from my QT tank in. I clean and do water changes every week. About 40% and use the scraper on the glass, but the decore and plants are getting covered with algae. I give my tank a siesta but timing the lights off an hour every day. The tank is near a big window, but I don't have any other place for it and the window doesn't get a huge amount of light, though as I said it's big.
