I thought I'd share this, because it just makes me giggle every time I see the tank. Went from maybe a dozen large-ish snails to approximately 3 bazillion tiny ones almost overnight. Good thing the snails are aquatic, else they'd have taken over the house!
No mystery why: I've been over-feeding this tank big time. I got some new corys about a month back, and they've been refusing to eat anything I put in the tank, including flakes, pellets, wafers, and assorted frozen foods. So I started dropping food in right before I turned off the lights for the night... and apparently the snails ate well when my back was turned The corys are getting skinny and slow, but are finally starting to pick at what I offer, so hopefully the food will start ending up in the fish instead of as snail food!
