feed less, vac more. Remove any adult snails as you see them and either crush and feed your fish with them or crush and discard. Remove snail eggs as they appear.

However, do not do this if you have any invertebrates that you would like to keep.

That would be an expensive snack for his loaches.

I had a bunch of Ramshorns in a tank because I was breeding them for a puffer. I put a pair of Convicts in the tank. The Cons ate all the snails in one or two days.

Convict cichlids will do a good job eradicating your snail problem, but then you're going to have to worry about your other inhabitants possibly being bullied. Good Luck!
