until recently the algae has been kept in check by small ramshorn snails in my guppy tank, but recently the snail numbers have declined and the algae has returned.. the guppys are the only fish in the tank, they are breeding so i dont want to put any algae eating fish that may eat the babies in there with them. but whats the best choice of snail to put in there? the only plant in there is java moss so im not worried about plant eating snails, as long as they eat algae, dont harm the guppes, and arent huge enough to distract focus from the fish anything will do...
so what snails would be most suitable, any ideas?thanks x

ps. the tank is heated and filtered.
 
Otto's would be a good choice they wont eat the baby guppies and they are good algae eaters.
