Nerite Snails To Algae But Baby Assassin Snails Have Appeared!

[jancarius]

Hi,
 
Exactly as the title says! 
The story to this is that a few months back i had snails all over my tank due to some plants i purchased of Ebay.
I got 2 assassin snails and lo and behold they eradicated the problem within 2 months and saw no more pest snails.
So out of the blue i got black algae all over my tank so got 2 Nerite snails and currently are doing a lovely job of eating through the black algae. (assassins were moved to another tank)
any ways i was looking at my tank just now and saw a whole heap of baby snails every where... googled it and it turns out to be assassins snail offspring.
 
How do i get rid of the babies as i don't want them eating my nerite snails even though they are bigger? there seems to be more and more of them each time i look.
 
Many thanks!
 
Kam

you could sell them/ give them away on craigslist.

Lol thanks but I think you've missed the point. What's the best way of getting rid of these without harming the nerite snails

You could put the nerites in a breeding trap so that they can escape the assassins until you ran remove all the babies. The babies will be hiding in the substrate.

Yeh was thinking that. Will have to do that. Thanks all
