Does anyone here have one of these? My LFS has some and i'm thinking of getting one, they are only $8 and I guess they are alot more efficent than snails, but i'm not totally sure. Any pros/cons to these guys? I wanted some info before i decided to get one, thanks!!

Most of mine were killed off by powerheads fairly quickly. I guess their lifespan isn't that long, either. They do well in a tank without powerheads or predators, and a good supply of algae, though.

I've just read about them getting caught up in powerheads. But I've also read that they do an outstanding with various types of hair algae, including bryopsis. I'm debating on getting one for my 20 gallon which is going through a small outbreak right now.

I don't have much algae except that film of junk that grows on the glass, so i figure that it might help with that so i wont have to clean the glass much. I don't have any powerhead in my tank and it turns over about 35x right now. I think i might get one and see how it works out.

LEt us know how it works for you

I would definately try one for $8 if I didn't have two powerheads. If you get one, snap a pic!

I don't think they clean the glass. Mine never did. They eat larger algae, not the films.

Hmmm hopefully it wont starve if i get one, i'm sure there is alot of algaes i can't really see on the LR. The ones at the LFS were crawling all over the glass. If I do get one i'll get pics Here is a pic of my tank, as you can see i don't have much algae, he fuzzy bottom left corner is just my camera being retarted.
