What can I do to clean this stuff off of my plants?
Snails, Shrimp, SAE, Flag Fish, or ?

This is part of the reason why I got rid of allot of my plants..
I will be dosing dry ferts on a set schedule starting this Monday, but that's not what I'm asking about in this post :)

Nom nom...The nerites will drool.


Oh yeah?

On a scale of 1 to 10
What would you rate the Nerite's and the Rams Horn's snails?

What algae will snails eat that Shrimp will not eat?
 
I feel compelled to say that adding livestock to "take care of" a problem is not advisable. Sure the algae may go away but I would suggest trying to figure out what is causing it. Just a little piece of advise:)
... I'm looking for something to take care of the problem that I have now, not to solve the problem that caused this.
I can't just throw my plants away, I need to clean them so I can keep them.

I knew someone one was going to say that ;)
Is why I mentioned Dosing on a schedule on Monday, since that will bring me closer to a balance then what I have right now and is usually the answers when someone is asking how to prevent this issue.

This is all I am looking to do at this moment:
Sure the algae may go away

Thanks for looking out for me though :thm:
 
Figured you knew but hey spreading the word to others who may not is never a bad thing:)


ok lol :cheers:

I took as as one of those "did you try restarting your computer" kinda answers, haha..
 
My horned nerites ate the BBA clean as a plate. I'd rate them 10. Ramshorns can have 5.

Clithon Corona snails are the same species as Nerite snails?
I want some Nerite's, but they are just so hard and exspensive to find :(
