KILL ALL. I realy realy realy want to kill ALL snails in my tank ,without removing any of my fish.

Salt (if the fish can tolerate it)

copper based meds should pretty much kill them all

why kill the snails? they are good and do no harm. leave the snails be and don't waste money trying to get rid of them.

get a puffer fish I had one a few years back and he loved snails

 

[rottbo]

I never knew that i had a snail problem untill i moved my puffer to a different tank and kept his old one setup for another fish... in less than a week that tank was infested with trumpet snails thousands of them... and we wondered what he was eating because none of us had seen him eat for months but yet he was always fat

even if you kill them you still have to remove them bc bookoo dead snails in your tank will foul the water fast. try baiting them at night a removing them. boiled cucumber works good. maybe something that eats snails can visit your tank.

what type of snails are they and your tank specs would be helpful also.

My 3 inch clowns will not touch snails...my angel fish try to eat them, but they spit them back out.
