Glass Catfish Advise?

Post by betta blue »

I have a ten gal. tank with two glass catfish (yes, I know I should have more and in a bigger tank...but I have had them now for about 18 mo.) One is about 2 in. and the other one is about 2 1/2 in. I had two yo yo loaches with them til recently when I transfered the loaches to a bigger tank. I am concerned about extra food that the glass catfish don't get to. Would you recommend an Apple Snail to eat the droppings on the substrate? Or something else? It's a small tank. There are a number of wisteria plants in the aquarium.

Thx,
Shar

If there is excess food the cats dont eat, simply feed a smaller amount!

If you wanted to add something to mop up any "spillage" how about a Kuhli loach?
