Hi there I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 GF frys in it.I was wondering if I could put a snail in there because algae is building up wildly.My frys are 6 weeks old so they're really small babies.Any suggestions on what kind of snail is best ?Snails that could'nt do harm to my babies?

I dont think snails will hurt your fry. What snails are you thinking of getting???

in addition to that they wont clean... your only luck is too manually clean it

I have no idea I was hoping someone could help me out with that I really love your snails by the way,they're just gorgeous Yesterday I was at our lps and took a peek on their snails and they only have these blackish snails called TANISHI(I don't know what they're called in english)They do not have a variety of them Are snails as messy as GFs?or are they easy to keep?Thanks ..

I try to scrape some every other day but I'm afraid it'll stress my frys cause they kind of swim like crazy when I stick my hand in their tank.

I have golden mystery (apple) snails in my fry tanks and they are doing fine.

Snails can be messy, so they may clean some algae, but pollute your tank with their poo at the same time. If it's just algae you want to battle, I would just manually clean it, but if you really want snails, then you have to consider that they take some care as well. Also if you get a couple of snails, be prepared for them to breed. I have hundreds of Ramshorns now, and I only started with two

It might be safer and healthier for your fry if you just manually clean the algae, but it's up to you.

Does the snails you saw look like this?:

I think that's it!! but much smaller though :)Hmmm....I may have to think about it and try to learn more about snails I am really tempted to go and get some though!!!Thanks for your help Selena,I really appreciate it
