help to select snails for my coldwater biorb
#1
Hi everyone. I wonder if I could call on the wisdom of the forum for advice on choosing some suitable snails?
I have a baby biorb, 15 litres, cold water, 3 fish (Chinese golden algae eater and 2 danios) and 'some' auger snails. I say 'some' because I hardly ever see them - where the hell do they all hide? Very occasionally they all come out together and give me a surprise and there must be at least a dozen tiny ones and a couple about half an inch long.
I'm looking for something that will help keep the algae down and add some interest - either colourful, stripey, active etc. I used to have golden apple snails which were ideal because they were colourful and entertaining with their antics but I understand they are being phased out thanks to those silly EU people. (Maybe we'll get them unbanned after brexit?).
I'm housebound so I can't go shopping for them and I'll need to be able to mail order them safely.
Any advice would be gratefully received!
