BELDT’'S AQUARIUM 

SAINT LOUIS, MO. 


SCAVENGERS FOR AQUARIUMS AND POOLS 
Do not try to keep an aquarium 
or a pool without the proper kind 
of scavengers. They are very im- 
portant in keeping an aquarium 
or pool clean. Clams should never 
be used in an aquarium. They 
should only be used in pools, as 
the average aquarium is much too 
small. Figure at least one snail 
to the gallon of water when 
Keeping an aquarium, and if you 
use the large Japanese snails, 
use at least a dozen snails for 
each 50 gallons of water in the 
pool, and figure one Weatherfish 
for each 10 gallons of water in 
the aquarium besides the snails. 
Water Newts or Salamanders 
are very interesting, but have no 

scavenger value. Tadpoles make 
very good scavengers in’ both 
pools and aquariums. Scavengers 
consume very little oxygen and. 
therefore, will not overcrowd the 
aquarium.
