critter to eat snail eggs

[Jay_S]

Having the shrimp there shouldn't bother a small pleco in terms of space.
If you want snails though, I'd go with ramshorns. They'd be easier for an assassin snail to keep up with, plus they're cute. The betta will also likely eat a few of the smaller ones and if you don't over feed they won't explode in population.

thanks ramshorns sound like they'd fit the bill perfectly.

My experience with ramshorns and bettas is that some bettas really enjoy eating the baby ramshorns. My ghost shrimp used to pick at the smaller snails too.

alright well ya sold me got my aldercones in today about to pick up some almond leaves and rams horn snails because honestly anything that engages the bettas hunter instincts and focus *baby snails, shrimps his reflection* is a solid win. heck id give him books again but the pop up scare him *silly guy won't learn to read*. but seriously if the ramshorn eat algae *stupid ny water* and eat the same algae tab/ waifer that the shrimp do then it's good.
