sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	I never see a dead fish. My applesnails have it gone before I know. Even the 7" farlowella disapeared without a trace. They also eat any dying plant matter so I don't have to remove it. They really are a great cleanup crew.
