Hi Have Fluval 125 with 5 Black Phantoms, 2 Corys, 3 Neons and 2 Kissing Gouramis. Came in from work and 1 is just sitting below the water line, breathing, upright but not moving much. The other is the same height, flicks onto its side and goes around the tank with the current, swims a...

I'm just reading the post to see about my snail colony..I have about 40-50, They happily plod around the tank, should I get rid of them, they tend to keep everything clean but now seem to be gaining in numbers ready for the big push to take over ? Any thoughts ?
