Hello! I've been a lurker for a while but never posted before but figured this would be a good place to get advice:
i've got a 110 gallon stock tank set up for my South American Lungfish. Somewhere along the way Bladder snails got into the tank and while they aren't a problem right now, I would very much like for them to be out of my tank.
Are there any fish that could safely cohabitate with a lungfish that would eat the snails? I had considered adding Amazon Puffers to the tank (Colomesus asellus) as they are known for being "friendly" as far as puffers go and would absolutely eat the snails, but im concerned they might harass the lungfish and plecos in the tank and, worse, could kill my lungfish due to their toxins.
I just want these snails out of the tank.
Currently the tank has the aforementioned Lungfish, 6 bristlenose plecos, 1 Rapheal catfish, and 1 marbled swamp eel.
