My super substrate cleaner - Fighting Conch

[wannaheli]

My substrate is now super clean thanks to a couple of Fighting Conches. I also have 1 Bunblebee snail, 2 Tongan Nassarius snails, 1 regular Nassarius snail, 1 Spiral Trochus snail, 1 Astraea Turbo snail, and 1 Mexican Turbo snail in a 20 gallon tank. I also have a cleaner shrimp and a marble starfish but I'm not sure if they count. The Fighting Conches are the most interesting to watch.

My Conch is one of my favorites in the tank, they're fun to watch!

I've had mine for six months now. He was super active for the first month, and then disappeared completely for two months. Like I never saw him. Not once, so I figured he was a goner. Then I caught a glimpse of his eyes poking up from the sand and realized he wasn't dead. For the next 4 months I'd see him maybe once every six weeks, he'd be buried that long at a time! . Just the past two weeks he's finally out and about regularly again and so happy!

They are doing such a great job with the sand bed that I'm afraid they may now go hungry. Maybe I should just drop a few sinking pellets for them to find.

Pleasant suprise bought my first three this morning to help with new top sand green algea.
