Snails for the Fish Tank

The fishtank began to grow a bunch of algae. I tried to get a sucker fish to eat it but the Petco guy said a snail would probably be better. I bought two and we named them Crowley and Aziraphale (Good Omens), because one is a gold and white Inca mystery snail and the other is a black mystery snail. They are doing an amazing job cleaning the tank. The eat in a back and forth pattern. 


They have these two, raspy tongues or teeth that they use to lick the algae off the glass.


They are fun to watch. Maybe even more fun than the fish. I find it fascinating to watch them transfer from one plane to another. Hopefully we'll have less algae soon!
