| Re: die snails die if you have the room try putting a clown loach or two in there. they will keep the snail population down. there is also a medicine that kills them, but i'm not so sure about that. it will make clown loaches reaaallly happy in there. ;D |

| Re: die snails die If you have no decor or plants then it would be safe to go with the chemical cure , if planted avoid it, when all the snails die you have to remove them fairly quickly as they can soon pollute your water,if it is planted you will never get them all. Find a small bottle, place a catfish pellet in it and then sink to bottom of tank at lights out, after one hour remove and dispose of contents, repeat until clear of snails. 8)

| Re: die snails die Yes that bottle thing really works. I'm not sure if you should do the clown loaches as they thrive in groups of like 4 or 5 and they get pretty big. You can try like 3 though. They do really good on snails. ;D

| Re: die snails die I would stay away from chemicals/medications! I had snails in my 30G. Whenever I saw one (or many), I would remove them from the tank by squishing them. I had a 2G bowl with a betta in it. He loved to eat snails also. Go the natural way instead of chemicals. |

| Re: die snails die Yeah chemicals in the aquarium arn't the way to go. I agree. My friend had the best time squishing his and I thought he was dumb but it was kinda fun. ;D They're suprisingly easy to kill when young.
