snails PEST'S

[DanDanUK]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me as my piranha tank has become infested with snail's. I have picked them out but yet they still apear. I was thinking about adding some loaches to attack and eat them but as my tank is a Piranha set up i dont think its a good idea.

loaches

I think you're pretty much stuck with them, because there are fishes that can eat the snails but your piranhas will eat those fishes.

Start selling them or trading them for something to your local LFS

piranhas or not, I'd still go with the loach idea. keep your piranhas well fed until the loach finishes its job. Should happen within a week or less

Ever heard of a divider? He can have the loaches work on one part and eventually switch them around. At some point you will need to transfer them to another tank unless they're going to be food.
