Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Gonna try reducing food first and maybe grab a couple Assassin Snails if that doesn't cut it.

My Malaysian Trumpet Snails are breeding like crazy. I've got a 20 gallon planted tank with sand substrate, and they're everywhere. How do y'all keep their numbers in check without harming the plants or other tankmates?

I've also heard clown gobies get along well with most fish. What's the average price for them, and would they be a good fit for my tank?

I think two clowns would be the way to go, personally. Adding another bottom dweller might not be the best idea, as a pair of clowns can get pretty aggressive towards other fish. I've even had them go after my hermit crabs, so that's something to consider.


I'm still looking for a bottom dweller ...

Sorry for the delayed response. The tank dimensions are 23.4 inches in length, 13.5 inches in width, and 15.6 inches in height.

Also, what's the estimated total cost for that setup, on average?

I'm thinking of scaling back the stocking a bit, so would 2 clown fish, 1 male and 1 female ocellaris, and a single firtideflow be a good combo for my 13.5 gallon tank?

I'm looking to transition into the saltwater side of the hobby, coming from freshwater. I've been eyeing the Fluval Sea Evo and thought it'd be a solid starting point. Before making a purchase, I figured I'd run my stocking ideas by you all. I'm thinking of keeping 1 female and 1 male ocellaris ...
