Default Freshwater snails?
is it a good idea to get a few freshwater snails for my tank...that way it keeps the algae growth on the glass down...im nervous about putting the algae fish with my bullhead due to them eating other fish?

It's a good idea if your aquarium has no live plants. Generally speaking, it's a bad idea if you're trying to grow true aquatic plants. If you do want to grow live plants, and still want some type of snail(s) in your tank, stick to small species such as Malaysian Trumpets (Melanoides tuberculatus).

I'd be iffy with the bullhead. Being a mud cat, they'll pretty much slurp on anything down there.
