My Snails

hi guys!

i have some snails from the Physidae family, are there any pros and cons to having them? do they help to keep the tank clean or just create more mess? ive got three and remove their eggs, dont want thousands! haha!

thanks!

There are no real cons to having them other than they can be unsightly if you let the population get out of hand. Don't overfeed and that will not happen, however.

There are plenty of pros to keeping them. They eat algae and leftover food and will also eat dead plant leaves as well.

They're an important addition to any tank, if you ask me.
