I have a 90g tank that is planted and all seemed well for a long time. I put some RCS and Assassin Snails in the tank and its now a huge mistake. I think I have close to 200 RCS now in the main tank and the sump tank. Also about 50 snails if not more. I plan to remove all the Java Moss but I can't remove all the shrimp and snails by hand. So my question is what fish would anybody recommend I get to "eat" the ones that are left over? Now I do have a community tank so I need the new one to get along with the rest of its tank mates.
