HaNs Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Put a cup in your tank and put some veges in it. Leave it over night and when the climb in lift it out and "depose" of them. May have to do this a few times and prob wont get rid of them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

je_suis_ketan Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I had a snail problem. After I got a few Clown Loaches they were all gone! Though I actually wanted the loaches and wouldn't advise buying them just to control your Snail population. But just a suggestion if you were thinking of getting some anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Just get a couple of loaches to keep the population down if you don't like seeing them - they don't actually do much harm at all in small numbers, and help get rid of detritus trapped under logs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yep, Clown Loaches . That'll do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
