Ok, I have decided that there is not nearly enough information, help, or products that deal with killing snails but not plants and fish. I have made the choice to figure this out my self. To do this I will learn ALL about these little viruses and then create experiments to determine what works best. Then will create experiments to determine which ones dont kill your plants or fish.

SO HERE IS THE QUESTION????????
What information might you smart people already know? As of now I will be trying copper sulfate, salt, and other copper methods.
I realize there are other fish and snails that can help but lets be real, snails are ok but dont eliminate the problem, and fish dont do so well in a LM Bass tank. LOL.
Any ideas?
 
im actually having trouble finding snails to feed my 2x assasin snails.... they now get pellets.. and whatever snails i can find.. lol
 
Why torture the fish - use a plastic soda bottle with a lil' food in it, everyday empty the bottle and repeat - you'll be out of snails in no time.
 
Ammonia - WORKS!

1. Remove your fish (to another tank for 24hrs)
2. Add a good amount of ammonia to the tank. (2 cups for 30 gal)
3. Watch all the snails die and wait 5 minutes
4. water change 75%
5. Add water conditioners
6. Run filter for 2-3 hours
7. Check water levels
8. If water levels ok put fish back in

PRESTO - NO MORE SNAILS!!!
