Right now I have a couple of self cloning crawfish which means that there are no males of this species. They have self fertilized eggs that are miniature of themselves when they hatch. I have has other interesting fish including fish that laid their eggs out of water and the male would stay nearby so splash water on them to keep them from drying out.

Well I finally have one of the crawfish holding eggs and hopefully in a month there will be the tap tap tap of many little feet on the aquarium floor. And also hopefully there will be the other crawfish becoming "pregnant" with eggs of her own. It is like an early Christmas present to me.

You will not find snail or any other animals that will eat the droppings from fish. That is one reason for doing a water change on an aquarium. However is you have plenty of rooted aquatic plants in your tank, the plants will use the fish droppings as plant food, but that does not mean that you do not need to do water changes.

That actually sounds like a dragon goby. It has eyes that face up wards with a very large mouth but it does not eat fish as a usual food. It has no burbles around the mouth like catfish would have.
