Snails In A Planted Tank

[DiscusKeeper403]

Hey guys,


I am having some trouble keeping spot algae off the glass of my tank. It seems even elbow grease does nothing to this stuff... Do you think you could give me a few species of snail that do well in a high temperature tank (30C/84F) ?? I would also need something that wouldn't munch on my plants!! We have some Dwarf Hairy Snails (??) at my work, and I was wondering if those would do?


Thanks,


DL

ramshorn snails and nerite snails :

Thanks, I am not sure if we have any of those... Do you know if the Hairy Dwarf Snail (name correct?) will work?

never heard of them... google turns up nothing, either. Sorry

nerite snails work great and you can buy them off from aquabid or ebay. Aquabid is usually cheaper though.
