The malaysian dw on left is coming out and new manzanita on right re-arranged. I have it so that it doesn't float at the moment but cannot move it lol. All that is in here now are 2 cory cats and 7 tetras. Oh.. and soooo many snails!!! How do I get rid of this or is it ok to have in tank?

a medium clown loach would clean them up. They do tend to be hard on plants when they get larger though., and are a bit too lively for discus in an open tank. Add the loach, then give him to a friend when the snails are gone.

Alright will do thanks. Opinions on the tank?

I used to have 6 clown loaches in a 125 gal. planted. They never touched one snail in the tank in several years. If I had let it to them, the tank would have been so thick with snails you couldn't see the through the glass! Best way I've found to control them, is to just siphon them out as you see them when doing water changes.

Ah I will do this so I don't have the annoyance of catching a Loach.
