Even though they are a pain in the butt, Brown Ramshorn Snails absolutely LOVE Hair Algae, brown algae(diatoms), and pretty much any other type of algae. Unfortunately these snails reproduce like bunny-rabbits. -Keith  http://www.ozarkgames.com |

The long fin variety are very nice looking and they are nicely active and a great addition to any planted tank. HTH.... There is always a bigger fish... |
