Post What is the best way to kill snails?

I have a 29 gallon aquarium, and out of nowhere, these little annoying Trumpet Snails get into my tank and I cant seem to get rid of them. What would work best to get rid of them? A Clown Loach maybe?

Try this. Put a bowl or glass  bottle that has a few pieces of food (pellets or something that will stay in the bottle) in it on the bottom of the tank. THe next morning, most of your snails will be in the bottle, and you just remove it.  Repeat as necessary.

Clown loach.  One two inch loach took away all my snails.

Clown loaches are naturally shoaling fish and are insecure as an individual,Try to find "platyadoras costatus" the chocolate or talking cat,they are quite happy on their own. 8) 8)

Gouramis like snails too. Also cherry barbs seem to like to eat snail eggs. I think their mouths are too small to eat bigger snails.

My cousin says her gouramies eat snails eggs too. She had a very large infestation of them earlier in the year.
