probably zebra snails. A good snail for algea would be ramhorns. Worked for me. Pm me if you would like some.

MTS are great, in my opinion, but they are difficult to erradicate so make sure you really want them...lol.

Before you buy, post a classified or ask around the club.  Many people will just give you a bunch as they are very prolific if the food is plentiful.

If you want MTs i have millions! You can have them for free!

You do know what your gettin your self into Bruce! You planning on buying some clown loaches! lol

But if you want some i have them and some Ramhorns. Let me know when and where. You can even come over and see my fronts;D

Even Clown Loaches won't help you with MTS....lol...they can survive a trip through the digestive system and very few can crack that shell.

They are a great little creature for the gravel though, and they stay hidden during the day unless they over-populate.  Like any snail, they will only over-populate if they have food.

There are several varieties of MTS with different shell patterns, colors, etc.  I rather like them myself.
