before you go to bed...put a piece of lettuce/cucumber in the tank.

the next morning, pull the piece of lettuce/cucumber out, and it will be covered in the snails.

OR you can risk it by using chemical treatment... it kills the snails but it turns you water very bad because the shells still stay there and rot or you could try the painstaking job of just finding them yourself lol

Ha haa! That's funny! Was it a joke? hee hee. CLown loaches need a pretty big tank if you use that option, but you will never see another snail again...then you'd have to make up something for why you have put loaches in the tank, they are a little more noticable.

yoyo loaches are smaller and will still exterminate all your snail woes
