So...I have this neat little tank. With odd dimensions, it's probably somewhere between 5-7 gallons. It's been doing well for ages, the only fish being a handful of C. habrosus and pygmeus. It's planted rather well, too.
Nothing has been added for weeks and weeks.
Then suddenly...SNAILS. Everywhere. I mean lots and lots of the little things, not just a few. It seems rather sudden, and nothing's been added recently.
I'm sure some of you can already see the problems here. The tank is small, and most snail eating fish I can think of are FAR too large for such a tank. And the plants and cories are sensitive...but I'd never use a chemical anyway. >
Any ideas, anyone...?
