Hello   My guppies have been breeding and I have set up a small tank for the fry - I'm looking to rehome them for free to anyone who can give them a good home - I've got about 50 of them.  They are silver and black with rainbow coloured tails   I live in the Strathclyde area in Scotland.  ...

Thanks very much - looks like a solid external filter - cheers :)

Bought the Aquamanta 1500 uv external filter - looks good - now to intergrate into my existing tank - cheers :)

Thanks, have a Maidenhead here in Glasgow - was looking at the 1500 with UV? - would that work in my 250ltr? thanks :)

Sorry to hear your resorting to those desperate measures - I'm considering buying a few yo yo loaches to deal with these critters

Sorry to hear you've got the same problem - I hope I can find a solution to this problem because they are spreading in my tank like wildfire :)   Interesting to find this thread - I think I am suffering with a plague of these fresh water limpets at the moment! And I mean a plague.....I think...

Thanks for the advice - much appreciated   Not really a fan of snails - would there be any other method of removal or another fish that would like to eat them - read that maybe yo yo loach will feast on them   Cheers Jack
