snail problem

I believe also that a snail infestation is caused by overfeeding.

Population growth would be over feeding, an infestation can be seperate.

I would use potato and lettuce. Also if you have the space I would consider adding a couple loaches if they would be compatable. I really like them though.

Oh also many different medications will kill snails. If the infestation is really bad consider treating the tank for a couple days followed by a good 75% water change.

adding a aloach will do wonders. also, make sure to change the filter, a lot of times there are some in there, and egg clusters that will emerge after you think you've solved it
