bluebetta Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 My apple snail in my tank has algae (well I think it is) growing on him. What should I do to get rid of the algae or is it ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Its fine If its just the green or brown colour over his shell, that shouldn't bother him much at all. Wosrt case scenario he might get a few ambitious fish nipping at his shell :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooshoo Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 i had those cute 'mystery snails' manically procreating in my spawn tank, they starting taking over! Now i just have 6, i think, sharing individual tanks with my betta boys. Might pop them in together again for a while and get some more to clean up some other tanks, darn bristlenose not doing their jobs :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I don't know what kind of snails are what. I call the ones with trumpet shells "creek snails" and the other ones just snails. I only know apple snails and that's because they grow huge. Has anyone seen apple snails in LFS around Brisbane? I only ever find the regular sized ones.

Beano Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah, I should go and look there on the weekend. I've only been there once in the last 5 years and it was to pick up Bling and his girl after their quarantine was over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
