Snail worries, need advice

[Chiapet29]

I added two of these snails to my 75gl, not thinking they would breed but sure enoff I found a colony of young ram horn snails on top of a piece of driftwood, I got rid of one snail to avoid future reproduction, I ran into this problem years ago, and it was a hassle to clean them out of the filter & tank, anyway I added two juvie clown loaches hoping they will eradicate them before it gets out of control again, need some guidance to avoid a outbreak of baby snails,,,,

You sure that's a ramshorn snail? Looks more like an apple/mystery snail.

Looks like apple snail to me from what I can see. I found clown loaches cleaned my tank out of those small blackish common snails very quickly. Not sure how they’ll do with yours, but I think they’ll love them. Keep me posted how they do.

This has me confused as well cause I agree about the apple/mystery snail but the baby's look like Rams horns? Will try to get better photos if possible

Nothing's wrong, I think they make a great addition to any Aquarium, that's why I got them, but as I stated I've had problems before with them overpopulating my tank & didn't intending for them to breed

Get Nerite snails. They can only breed in salt water.

Get a pea puffer! It will take care of the baby snails too.

Assassin snail would kill your other snails. You could also make a trap for them , look it up on youtube.
