[copycat]

I'm infected with algea problem (Guess u guys call it diatom or brown algea)
I know tat there this snail (I forgot it name) tat eat these algea, the only problem is I dont know where to get them?
Anyone got any suggestion where to get them and how much do they cost?

Brown algae is pretty easy to get rid of. It goes away once your tank is established, if not, you can get Otocinclus.

Snails breed, and Otocinclus are usually cheaper than the Horned snail ( if you're talking about that ) and stuff like them.

But if you are looking for the horned snails, C328 often has stock...

it would be easier for you to manually remove the algae than to use snails for it.

Aiyah... Post in marine thread lah... No idea about marine tanks... Except to use Hermits? Turbo snails?...

[Masslawya]

my trigger keeps eating my snails, what too do?

[Justikanz]

Dun keep snails with the trigger... No other choice... Triggers are invert hunters... As well as potential fish nippers...

Oops! Edited my reply cos didn't realised the thread had been shifted to the marine section... Sorry...
