fins Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have found a excellent chemical free wat of getting rid of snails from my tanks. A few days ago I put a clay pot to act as a cave in my community tank and i checked for eggs the next day (being hopefull). I took the pot out and found that there was about 50 snails attached to the pot and about 200 eggs, I removed the snails and eggs and Iv been doing that for a few days now and my snail population is almost eradicated. Is this a good idea or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 The price of clown loaches depends on two things. Availability and size. When saying how much they cost, it would be good to know an estimate of their size. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 well theres a fair few round the shore at the moment between $12-15 with sizes from about 2.5 to 4inches. I got a smaller one as my tanks not huge and want to have it as long as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Buy a bigger tank Jade, clown loaches are so cool!! I've got 3 at about 3" and I've never had any problems with snails, I actually feed them snails occasionally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
