| amethystbelle Small Fry Posts: 10 Kudos: 7 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Sep-2004 | I don't like hill stream loaches they freak me out as they are snake like lol. My water stays quite temperate all year round never gets over cold or over hot. I did think about snails but not sure as not keen on them either  |

Personally I like my malaysian trumpet snails, and have them in all my tanks, never really had an issue with algae, but I'm not sure I can say it's all because of them  .^_^   [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it |

| amethystbelle Small Fry Posts: 10 Kudos: 7 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Sep-2004 | Its for a tank but i don't want anything too big, i want something smallish. I could have been thinking of weather loaches as was in a hurry when i replied and probably wasn't thinking and got them mixed up so my mistake sorry :%) ! |
