Cleanup Crew In A Goldfish Tank: Shrimp Vs Otocinclus Vs Nerite Snails.

[@joeycarter2678]

Fool that I was, I added a snail to my tank, within a month I had 1,000 snails. I removed as many as possible but within a shorter period of time I had about a million. No snail ever.

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

Puffer fish will love eating them though.

[@Boss-zo4lw]

Get a male Nerite and you get no eggs, when you buy one put it in a container for a good while and if no eggs appear its a male.

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

They were in a quarantine tank for a few weeks....no eggs. I thought I got lucky and added them into the main tank.....

[@glorxiia1]

Can you tell me what fish was on the rock and eating algae

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

Otocinclus

Sir my cat has eaten pleco during tank cleaning.. is that good for my cat??

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

I have no idea, but I would suggest you monitor your cat closely as some plecos have spines that may injure your cat's insides.

[@glorxiia1]

Can otocinclus be with goldfishes ?.

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

Yes and No. If you don't want mishaps, better not to have them.

[@JakkiCarey]

Thanks! Very informative. Do the goldfish eat the snail eggs at all?

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

+Jakki Carey Not at all, I am considering removing the snails from the tank because removing the eggs takes alot of maintenance time.

[@meetdavid2024]

I thought Nerite snails don’t lay eggs in fresh water

[@goldfishinaflex4030]

So did I. I had read that females only laid eggs in brackish water. Guess the info online was wrong.

[@estiiim]

They lay eggs, they just won't hatch
