Re: [GSAS-Member] Snails!

Gee Thanks for giving me another fish to put on my want to have list! They do 
look very cute - However the tank with the snail problem has a mated pair of 
angels which lay eggs regularly - and unfortunately eventually eat them - 
although they may just not like the 20 gallon tank and need a bigger tank. 
They do care for the eggs for a couple days before the eggs dissapear. Anyway 
the only other animals in the tanks (besides snails) are several ghost?? 
(algae eating) shrimp - Also lots of plants. The shrimp are about 1 inch long 
or better - would the puffer bother them?? Would the angels bother the 
puffers? I think probably yes but anyone have them in a community type tank 
out there?
