Hey,
I am about to start my Walstad style tank..... eu naturale (or something like that).
I have read in various forums about what other fauna to have in the tank to keep the fish company. I am looking for a range of snails, shrimp and worms (yes, I head they were useful too) to keep in my tank.
The only things I really know about snails is that they were frowned upon in more 'scaped' tanks, however as I am not going for that I understand that they would be highly benefical (trumpet snails I think I read).
Can I have your suggestions ...... and.... if you could take time to explain why that would be great too - as I want to understand, not just know, why I should have these things in my tank.
Thanks.
Lee
