That's a real shame, it is difficult to keep the heat down in a smaller tank, even moreso when it not a taller tank.

Indeed! The tank hasn’t dropped in temp ( 27*C currently ) but I’ve put an air pump in to try and give it a bit more oxygen/surface movement. Seems to have done the job as no more dead in or out of the tank! Still have one male amano shrimp out of the lot that were in there, and some how the lone Otto hasn’t been affected.

Another neon down, left with 2 now. I’ve not removed the body as the snails have pretty much eaten it. *possibly disturbing picture below*
And that’s just one reason why I do keep snails in my tanks!

Most people hate snails, but I like them as they are excellent scavengers. Algae, dead plants and dead fish are all cleaned up within hours. Yes they breed a lot, but keep the feeding to a minimum and you don't have a massive explosion of them.
Oh yeah, the lotus is really taking off now!
