Golden Snails and Blue Lobsters

My Tank has life once more.

I have...Two silver sharks, two bronze corydoras (catfish to most peaople) called Cory and Dora (I know it's original), 6 nameless Glowlight Tetra's, one Golden Apple snail called Crawly, and a Blue Lobster called Pinchey.

I tested the water for everything, and it was fine, checked and double checked the filter and air pump, and threw them all in. So far they seem fine, the cory's are very playful, and love scooting round on the bottom of the tank throwing up gravel and rooting about under the plastc plants. The Silver Sharks started off a little shy, but have been more nosey today, coming to the front of the tank when they thought I wasn't watching. The Tetra's are naughty...they refuse to eat the crushed up flake food I put in for them, and end to try and tackle the catfish pellets and algae tabs I put in for the Cory's and Crawly. And honestly you've never seen a snail move so fast when I put food in that tank...He launches himself across the tank to hog an algae tab, then sits there and munches until it's all gone.
Pinchey is very elusive. He's only ickle at the moment (about an inch long) so I think the silver sharks scare him a bit...he tends to back himselfunder a plastic plant and wave his little pincers at anything that comes near...but I've seen him scuttling about so I know he's ok. I'm ging to try him on some chopped up mussels, cos the Fish shop man said they'll eat anything and to try him on seafood sticks and stuff like that. He's a good litle hoover too..even after giving the tank a good clean and a water change there was sill some muck floating about in odd corners that I couln't get to...the tank is spotless now.... The Fsh Shop man said he'd do that, but now the tank's clean, Pinchey will have to eat sunken dish flakes, algae tabs and anything else fishy throw in. Apparenly Blue lobsters are scavengers and will eat literally anything, including any dead fish that snk to the bottom... bit like my old Plec really. Will have to make sure he's well fed tho, cos he will also attack the fish if he gets hungry enough, tho I think he's a bit little at the moment.

Oh and Chris, I think you can get fresh and salt water variesties of Angelfish....I know there's definately freshwater ones, my mum had them for years... 'm avoiding them anyway, cos they are omnivorous and might attempt to eat Crawly or Pinchey. Pinchey is especially vulnerable when he sheds his shell, cos before he hardens he's all soft boddied and tender and juicy to any passing carnivorous fish.

Anyway I have nothing like that in the tank so he should b ok. I'm thinking of getting a couple of zebra snails as well, I only got one golden apple snail, because they breed, and I don't want 200 tiny snails in the tank, the zebra snails will only breed in brackish water tho so I might get a couple of those...and this is the reason I get plastic plants...if I end up with three snails the real ones on't last very long...
