It's a question of economics - I bought 2 nerites (one died). They cost me a fiver (£ 5) each.

Thanks, everyone, for your input. I need to give this more thought. In the meantime, I will remove as many as I can, manually.

Thanks, Sammy, that answers my question.

I have some Christmas moss in this tank that needs trimming, and I want to put some into my other tank, but don't want to import the snails, so what I am going to try is give it a good rinse under the tap to get rid of as many as possible, then I will put the moss into a container with a good...

Thanks

Thanks. I may try the first 3 plants that you mentioned - sometime. (though I bet I can destroy them). Oddly enough, many years ago, when I first started with fish, I had an Amazon Sword in my first tank, which was an 18-inch, plastic bow-fronted tank. The plant grew very well, but after about a...
