Timmy Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have a tank with cherry shrimp in it and in the java moss i got there was a heap of snails that came out of no where. I want to get rid of the snails as they are breeding and getting outa hand. I have been crushing them but they are like flys you kill one and three more appear. I was thinking of getting a clown/yoyo loach but they will eat my cherrys is there any other way to kill them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISSY Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 one way to take out a few is to put a lettus leaf in the tank over night, brush the snails off in the morning and repeat. or take the cherries out and get a yoyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discusgc Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 What sort of snails are they? Not much will knock of those Malaysian Trumpet Snails IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 they are the same colur as Malaysian Trumpet Snails but it looks like they are round instead of pointy if that makes any sense. Every time i go to the tank theres more eggs on the glass i keep squashing them but its an endless job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
