Humm. That sounds like the local snail around here. I had them in my tanks too, until I got some botias.

No new plants in months. No snails before the rainbow cichlids were there. All that's changed, is I introduced a new Eheim canister filter with the tank. Same old food as ever (dried food, frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms) Any ideas? Am tempted to had-a-snail the whole thing, there are only 5 easily removed killies in there. _________________________________________________________________ You keep typing, we keep giving.
