Snails in my tank HELP2007-11-24 23:40:00

Is there anyway to get snials out of a tank. I have been infested with them. I know I got them when I planted live plants in my tank but how can i kill them

Answers:

there is a product called Rid A Snail or something similiar that will kill snails, some fish kill and eat snails but i cant remember which ones, ask your local pet shop or you could just scoop them out and destroy them

Drastic is salt but take out fishes first.

---

---

Salt

If you have a fresh water/ tropical community tank you can get clown loaches. They feed on snails. I have also put figure eight puffers in my fresh water tank, however this is not reccomended. Puffer fish are brackish ( half fresh water and half salt water) and tend to be very aggressive. All I did was double up on the aquarium salt when i did my water changes but I have no idea why they didn't kill my fish. If you buy your fish from a good fish store with trined, knowledgeable staff then they should be able to help you.

hope that makes sense. it's 4:00 am

Get a couple of clown loaches, they apparently feed on snails and should rid your tank of them.
