Snails and sand

[qquake2k]

Are there snails that don't reproduce like crazy, but that will keep my sand clean and aerated?

MTS. If you don't overfeed and allow fish food to rot on the bottom of the tank, they won't overpopulate.

:iagree: Even if they do explode in numbers, you'll only be able to see a couple of them at a time in the day.

 

[GOJIRADOR]

yeah they stay buried in the sand in the day time and come out to feed at night

 

[qquake2k]

What are MTS? Besides multiple tank syndrome.

Got it, thanks.

I can say my Pomacea canaliculata also do the job stirring substrate since they half-bury themselves.lol

Mystery snails might do the job as well. I don't think they're know for burring themselves but mine do it all the time.
