snail of choice?
I have various snails in my 180 gallon system and through the months that it has been setup many mexican turbos have croaked. I have heard that this is because they cannot tolerate the slightly higher temps of many of our tanks (81-82). i was just wondering what everyones favorite aglae cleaning snail other then the mexican turbo was...i love them because they are bigger but o well.

I like margarita snails. They come from colder waters too, but they seem perfectly fine in my tank.
