I like having snails and have never been over populated. The more you feed the more eggs they will lay . I think my goldfish eat them . I never see more than about 10 at a time in my planted 40 gallon and would welcome more . I think snails are great in a planted tank and easy to pull out the ones you dont want . I have what I call pond snails. I bring them in from my outdoor pond . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Fan Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 @quirkylemon103 Just like in any other space, however for really tight spaces I like to use a pair of wave scissors, they just make it so much easier to get close to the rosette when you cut. I usually just prune off the tallest leaves because mine seem to always aim at getting to emersed growth but they are very resilient. Just don't forget to keep feeding them with root tabs. Here's a picture of the wave scissors: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 sorry I haven't been updating. I have been saving for a new tank(waterbox 20 cube). so I haven't bough any new plants or fish, but on the 15th my aquarium club is having a swap meet so I will hopefully get a ton of new plants 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I moved some plants around, added the rest of the cherry shrimp, added some moss(not shown in any of the pictures) and I trimmed the rotala(?) I might propagate the anubias 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) the banana plant died, and I get some cyano occasionally but other than that the tank is doing really well Edited September 21, 2021 by quirkylemon103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I am redoing the tank soon. I need to move the danios in because there tank nitrate is getting too high very quickly 20 ppm to 50-70 ppm in a week Edited December 6, 2021 by quirkylemon103 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 the tank is finally being converted to a shell dweller tank, I am going to start a new thread eventually. all the plants I want to keep are moving to 2 five gallon tanks. does anyone have suggestions on how to completely remove algae from plants? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try spraying them with some hydrogen peroxide or Excel (diluted). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
