I've been fighting it for awhile. Various nutrient levels, light levels, etc. Considering getting a nerite snail, but heard they can be a bit of an escape artist. Any tips?

Thanks! Good ideas. I love my cherry shrimp, but they have no concept of fear and generally swim towards danger, while my fish swim away from danger, haha.

It's true; we love the dwarf shrimp for their looks, not their abundance of caution.
