INTERESTING SCAVENGERS AND FISHES 
FOR THE AQUARIUM 
In maintaining an aquatic garden you should consider the 
scavengers. They are necessary to eat up excess food and clean 
up the algae off the plants. An aquarium garden of snails alone 
is very interesting. 
For instance, observe the life history of the ramshorn snail, 
starting with the egg we see that the eggs are enclosed in trans' 
parent capsules. The process of development and evolution may 
be watched daily.
