I'd like to establish a colony of scuds in my 65g to provide food for my fish. Mostly I just have tetras and pencilfish, though there are some checkerboard chiclids, a female betta, and a hovering goby from Sulawesi (no clue what kind).
The tank is lightly planted with aubias and java fern. Would the scuds eat it all up? There are 20-ish fish, mostly pencils, and I'm going to add more soon.
What I'm hoping for is a colony of scuds that will last without going out of control and causing lots of damage to my plants and/or bothering fish.
Also, do they bother snails? I have a few nerite snails in there, ones that I want to keep.
