So here's a math question out there for all you wizzes...
A 90 gallon planted tank has 3 4" clown loaches. How many malaysian trumpet snails would you need to properly keep the substrate aerated and keep a stable population of MTS without them all being food for the loaches?
...and does anyone have any that they'd like to get rid of?
My cleanup crew essentially consists of:
1 Albino bushynose (female)
1 regular bushynose (male)
3 clown loaches (they eat all the leftover very well)
I've tried shrimp before, but they always got eaten...a very expensive meal. But then again, I only had 6 in there at one time. Would it make a difference if I had, say, 40?
I've also had a large apple snail that was in there for a long time because he was so huge...but the loaches eventually got to him.
Cheers
