Here is a fish that eats algae + snails!

[swozzie]

I have a well planted tank with 1 Rainbow shark, lots of algae growing and a booming population of snails.

I put in 4 Puntius Denisonii (Red Line Torpedo barbs) and within half a day, there were no snails to be seen! Within a day there was virtually no algae left!

Of course, now they have eaten alot more than I expected them to, my biological filter is struggling to get up to speed and I got Nitrite issues

What size tank? Keep an eye on that nitrite level and do water changes to keep it down. Bets of luck to ya.
