Until I found out they could carry flukes, and thus be a
probable cause of the bacterial infection I'm still fighting after two
months, I was leaving them to cruise the algae. They made neat
patterns in it.

Remove goldfish. 100% water change. Nice and clean. Add loaches (clown
or weather). Wait a week or so. Put those cute little loaches back in
their own tank, replace goldfish.

See those cute little barbels? Specially designed to get snails out of
their shells... Heh, heh, heh.

Hmm. I wonder if the LFS would let me borrow a couple? I've spend enough
money there! ;-)

Error. Install universe and reboot.



Odd though, I know a local LFS that uses goldies to exterminate the snails..
I myself use Yoyo's, but I have been wondering if they have not been eatting
my african fry... I have an AQ 300 filter block full of the bloody things..
Yet the itself is clear.. The occupents would be a small koi, goldies and
guppies ( hanging in the weeds ).. No snails inside the tank, just the
fliter...
