So Horny!

There are two basic types of snails: Good, and Bad.

Good
...when they eat algae
...when their population is controlled
...when they don't eat the plants

Bad
...when they eat the plants
...when they reproduce like crazy
...when they lay unsightly white and indestructable eggs

Previously there were a handful of snails in the RH Fish Tank, they were not yet "bad" because they are not yet reproducing uncontrollably. However their appetite for algae is limited.

Today i introduced 3 Horned Snails, do not be surprised if you see them in the RH Fish Tank. They are bigger than the existing snails, have horns like mines, their appetite for algae is good, and they do not eat the plants (i think). They are big enough not to be eaten by snail-eating fish in the future, yet will not reproduce uncontrollably (lower sex drive). They look like this:
