Fish tank cleaner

Many people are worried about choosing tool fish because some tool fish are very aggressive. For example, adult scavengers often treat small fish as food, and it is very unfavorable to raise such tool fish in some fish tanks,which brings great trouble to people who raise fish. If you don't keep tool-fish, there will be a lot of food residues and algae in the tank that cannot be removed, which not only destroys the water quality but also affects the ornamental.

But since the tool fish is not feasible, why not try the tool snail? Tool snails are slow to move and are not offensive. If one day you find that your snail is eating a fish, then don’t misunderstand it, the snail can’t bite the fish swimming in the water unless the fish sinks after death. If it falls at the bottom of the tank, the scavenging snails will come around and share the food. If it is some sick fish whose action is slow, or there is a slight tendency to die, and the secretion of mucus on the body is abnormal, it will attract snails to kill the sick fish. But this kind of situation will not happen as long as the ornamental fish in the tank are in a healthy state. This is only a rare phenomenon.

Today I will introduce you to a turtle pond and fish tank cleaning artifact-Golden Snail!
The golden snail is also called the longevity snail. Why is it called the golden snail? It is very simple. The color is very similar to gold.
Look at its golden shell and golden flesh, it is indeed very beautiful.
I believe that friends who raise fish are very familiar with the golden snail, which is a famous fish tank killer, but friends who raise turtles may rarely hear it.

Why is it a fish tank killer?
It's very simple, because an adult golden snail will eat the entire landscape plant of the fish tank, and it will threaten the smaller fish. It can be said that it is indeed a very dangerous species.
Although the threat is greater, the golden snail is still beneficial, that is, it can clean up the residue, weeds and moss in the water, which is several times stronger than the scavenger's cleaning ability!
They can also turn over all the mud in the soil. It can be said that they will eat everything they can eat.

It is not recommended to raise golden snails for those with small fish and landscape plants.
But if you are raising adult fish, and there are no plants in the fish tank, you can try to raise some small golden snails.
The small golden snail can clean up food debris and moss on the tank wall.

It is different in the turtle pond. Because the turtle pond is large enough and has many residues, it is very easy to grow moss. Therefore, keeping some golden snails will reduce a lot of debris and the turtle pond will become cleaner.
However, it should also be noted that the reproduction speed of the golden snail is very fast, so you must pay attention to clarify the golden snail, otherwise, it may really harm the turtle.
