snail removel

[freshyfishy]

Is there any easy way to remove snails from a planted tank? I have a ton and there are just way to many now.

i heard that ick meds kill snails.

 

[freshyfishy]

really good idea. Any other methods?

I don't know if you care about your plnts, but I would make sure the meds won't hurt your plants. I would put a slice of Cucumber in your tank and they get on it (which they will) throw it away. Or you get some Clown Loachs, YoYo Boitia(spelling) they love to eat snails.

if they are little parasitic snails, throw in a couple of dwarf puffers, they make a great addition to a planted tank anyways

dwarf puffers would be a good choice or clown loaches, also if you don't have any other invertebrates in there and don't mind ever having any, add some mardel coppersafe, it will kill them no problem, inverts + copper don't get along well ~Trent

I think im going to go with the puffers. Do you think I can put 2 in a 3.7 gallon planted??

clown loaches as guests would be great!!!

I think only one would fit in that size tank
