Hello all.
I recently posted about an algae outbreak i had in my tank and was asking if Bristlenose Plecs were up to the job as the pet store were trying to sell them me. I listened to everyones views that you shouldn't just buy fish for the purpose of doing a job but for the fish itself so i decided not to buy any. But wow i came across these little guys called Zebra Snails and i had to buy some they looked cool although the missus would disagree.
I Have put them in my established tank and they are happily munching on any algae i have present.
The only fault i can say about these guys is that at some point im going to run out of algae as they have had it all.
Anyway i thought it would be worth mentioning these chaps for any of you that need algae munchers try them out.
