Newly set up 120l tank. Substrate is sand over dirt. The sand is a mix of play sand and much coarser sand/grit dug up from the garden. No added CO2.
I planted and filled a couple of weeks ago and want to get some snails in there but really have no clue what type to get.
Plan is to also keep cherry & Amano shrimps. Still deciding on fish but some that will leave the shrimps alone and low stocking density.
My daughter (her tank) is worried about snail population exploding and eating the plants so is keen on assassin snails. I read that trumpet snails would be good for sand substrate but I don't know anything about any other varieties.
Any advice of what we should start with and where to buy (Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire)? Local place I looked only has assassin snails @£3.50 each.
