Great video, I love snails, but I have substrate and trumpet snails were constantly digging out my younger plants.

[@nedsfishtips]

@@degeneraturat yes that is very notable

Diversity within habitats creates a complexed biochemical profile leading to health and resilience,,,,,,,! its the difference between developing a habitat and merely providing an enclosure as providing merely an enclosure will require MORE intervention to remain stable enough to sustain larger inhabitants such as fish successfully....!

@@ChristopherLecky very true

Most common pest snails: bladder, melasian trumpet, ramshorn and pond snails. The only reason why people call it pest snails is because they breed very quickly. Its something like this imagine only one well feeded guppi fish giving birth everyday to 20 new fishes this is how fast These snails can populate. But they are completely harmless and one of the best aquarium cleaners they eat decomposing leaves from aquarium plants but not eat healthy leaves. Decrease feeding or just remove some of them manualy if you have problem with them and your aquarium will be completely okay. And if you have nerite, rabit, or apple snails they will grow slower because of "pest" snails ability to eat most of the food before them. Its just your choice what you want in your aquarium 😜
