cory breeding help-snails
i found out that a tank for Branze cory's have to be very clean without snails.
but i've got a mass amount of malaysian trumpet snails and its been pretty hard trying to remove them because these things breed like rabbits! and most of them are under ground,
what should i do?

Re: cory breeding help-snails
I'm not sure I understand the question. Malaysian trumpet snails do not eat fish eggs, and should not really compete with the fish fry for food.

Re: cory breeding help-snails
oh what i meant was that because they lay alot of waste, would it affect the way cory's breed because they need very clean water and the snails might put them off

Re: cory breeding help-snails
Rather than creating waste, the snails actually help keep the tank clean.
They are in my mind a good thing. I add snails to every tank I have, and never have a problem with them.
A huge number of snails, however, indicates overfeeding.

I have had this problem before, and as stated above, I was over feeding, Once i realized and amended the amount i fed, the snail numbers were controlled.
