That was a 40 gallon. Had a plectotomus(sp?) in there that grew from
a couple inches to about a foot long. Good glass cleaner.

How big was/is your tank. I have snails in my 15gal aquarium, and I'm sick
of squishing them.

Vic, did you mean one of these guys?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plecostomus

I've not had an aquarium for a long time, but I lucked out when I first set
one up. The book I bought said, "Do not put snails in the tank to keep it
clean." According to the book, they multiplied like crazy and eventually
scratched up the glass. The plecostomus was a good critter

We always kept a few corydoras around. They helped with the cleanup.
