GarrettRiing Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Going to head out tomorrow and grab some snails for my 60. What do you guys recommend? I do have some diatom algae in the tank. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Mexican turbos, Astrea, and Nassarius are three that I would look for. If you can afford it I would grab 10 of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I like ceriths in addition to what is listed above. Also nerite and Trochus are supposed to eat diatoms. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarrettRiing Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm sure I'm missing a few but here they are! Some of them are getting to work right away. I think I waited a little long to get snails. Woke up one morning and had diatom out the wazoo, so we grabbed a total of 11 snails today but Friday is payday so you best believe I'll be grabbing more this weekend. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some combo here too with a few trochus into the mix. Nice variety and do a good job. Have hundreds of colonista snails that come out at night too that are supposed to get into the hard to reach spots because of their small size.
