Hello guys, currently my tank been hit by an outbreak of spiral-shape snails.
Do they attack plants or just feed on the algae.
If they hurt the plants, anyway i would exterminate em without hurting my malayan shrimps?
Thanks
Spiral shaped? Should be Ramshorn snails. If cone-shaped, then it is Malayan Trumpet Snails.
Snails feed on algae, dead or dying leaves and leftover food. If it bothers you, then get puffer fish to eat them. Normally I leave them alone. Other fish known to have an appetite for them are ghost shrimps, Rams, Loaches.

But puffer fish will eat the shrimp too, won't it?
It was weird almost mistaken em for baby shrimps.
until i saw em upclose.
Glad to have em to get rid of the algae and dead leaves.
I have both ghost and malayan in my tank...so i hope the ghost would take on the snails rather than the malayan shrimps.
Thanks for info.
