Best snail.

[Luke Schnabel]

I recently bought a cleanup crew and am looking to get about 10-20 more snails. My tank is growing a lot of hair algae since its freshly done with its cycle. I was thinking 5 or so "Turbo Snails" at least. What snails do you guys suggest.

I have gone 40 years without snails.For some reason,4 months ago I bought 3 Mexican Turbo Snails...It takes me a long time to try new things.The Lfs lady said they are one of the better snails for, eating algae,and seem to last for long periods of time,compared to some other varieties.I am happy with them and they are always cleaning

For the hair algae I would use emerald crabs. There is one downside to the turbos. They cannot flip themselves back over if upside down. I do not really like them but that's just me. I think trochus are pretty good.

Trochus snails.

Trochus and Ninja Star snails. I've about had it with my Turbo messing around with my frag rack.

I have a 125g display. I already have an emerald crab. Would two be ok?

Trochus snails.

Those Banded Trochus snails are an algae eating monster. They do hold a lot of weight though, so make sure everything is fastend down tight. GL.
