Although I didn’t mention it in the video, if you have enough plants (and follow a walstad method aquarium) you won’t have to do any more water changes, but your may have to scrape down any annoying algae and do water top offs. I hope this clears things up 😊
@@ragingmillennialSnails are good for an aquarium because they eat algae and old food and certain species aerate the sand. I would NOT recommend the assassin snails at all. Those are considered the only bad snail. If you have an overpopulation some fish will suck out the snail out of its shell and eat them. I had a German blue ram once and he ended up eating 200+ snails in less than 3 days!
Pool filter sand is the best and it is wayyyyyyyy cheaper than anything petsmart or any pet store will offer you. Just wash the sand in a bucket till the water comes out clean.

Any tips on the invasive snails that usually come with those plant?

Another thing that you should never buy at PetSmart: PETS!
Have you heard of a gravel vacuum? 😂
No net? Ya tell that to ever aquarium store ever 😂
I'm imagining trying to catch a fish with a bowl 😂
Haha normally my fish will just swim into my hand :) but the most responsible fish stores use bowls because they know what’s best for the fish
