Hi, Currently stripping down and putting away my small quarantine tank.
It must have about 2 million snails in it.  These originated from one
plant purchased from a well known store.  All the time the fish were in
it they lived in the airpipe.  Now the fish has gone they are

Lately, I've been allowing ramshorn snails to live in a 10 gallon
planted tank - they seem to do more good than harm.  I've also got
