Betta Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've always loved Congo Tetras & Harlequin Rasboras & you can't go past a Loach for snail control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 ya wont have any shrimp left if ya add a loach lol. shrimp + mystery snails + bristlenose + cory + a single epic male fighter love that combo. get into snail trapping works so very well esp when its only shrimp in there as you can really restrict the food.

DeadFishFloating Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 buy a punnet of strawberrys remove strawberrys eat strawberrys punch a few holes in empty punnet lid place punnet into tank with a bit of fish food (and some gravel to weigh down) in it dont feed tank snails will go into punnet and can be removed just one of a thousand trap options I like this one though because I like pseudofruits like strawberrys something about the seeds on the outside I think. anyway props to Sthn75on AL for that one. works well and ya a picture of theirs in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
