Fish for controlling pyramidellid snails
Are there any other know fish for controlling pyramidellid snails, besides sixline wrasses? I'm concerned about my clams.

have you seen any pyramid snails? even a sixline won't get rid of the problem on it's own, you need to remove them by hand as well.

Yes, my deresa is covered in them... I've been brushing them off with a toothbrush daily.
Where is the bottom of the chute? I'm not familiar...
