Help getting reid of snails!!

[jsodwi]

Not sure if this is in the right forum but somehow snails got into my tank and now they are starting to piss me off!! I don't know how they got there cuz I don't feed live maybe they came from a recently added fish. Anyway how the hell do I get rid of them??

buy a clown loach...

do you feed frozen? sometimes they get in that way!

 

[jsodwi]

I use frozen shrimp and tilapia thats it. How much do you thing a monster loach would cost?

I've heard that if you put lettuce into the tank in the evening the snails will go on it, so that when you remove it in the morning you get rid of lots of snails.

Thats what i do, but its a constant stream of lettuce, and a constant stream of snails.

Monster loaches are pretty expensive usually, just get a shoal of small ones. Mine even kill apple snails.

My puffers love snails. What is the tank set up? If they are MTS, don't worry about it.

Maybe I'll try the lettuce thing Cuz my smallest fish is a foot and the biggest 20"+ so a groups of small loaches are out of the question

What kind of snail is it?

any of these should work.


Sorry, couldn't resist.
