Worms, snails, and pods.

I am in the process of putting together a diverse clean up crew for my newly established ( 2 months) FOWLR setup. I need critters for algae control( especially for the algae on my glass) and for detritus and uneaten food. Here are some of the candidates I am currently considering for the team:

Bristle and spaghetti worms- detritus /uneaten food control
Nassarius snails - detritus
Trochus, cerith snails- algae
Pods- algae/detritus
brittle mini stars- algae/ detritus

I was considering purchasing all of these from Indo Pacific Sea Farms. Where else can I get bristle and spaghetti worms along with pods? Thanks!

Gary

Hi, sounds like you have done some good research.

I would imagine you have a pretty deep sand bed, and/or a lot of rock judging by the list. Sounds like a good mix of creatures if its some sort of package offered by the vendor you mentioned.

At any rate if the glass algae is your big issue the snails are going to make you pretty happy! GL
