Pond Snails And Apple Snail Help Please!

[Pixietina]

My tank has an influx of small pond snails but i cant use treatment because i have 1 gold apple snail and a blue apple snail that obviously mean alot to me... so can someone help me with this dilemma

Put lettuce or cucumber in your tank; leave it overnight and remove it in the morning with all the snails attached (obviously if your apple snails are on then just take them off )

You could lure out snails by putting a lettuce leaf in overnight; remove your Apple Snails to a temporary home for a few weeks and add an Assassin Snail; remove Apples and "borrow" a loach (Dwarf Chain; Indian Red Tail spring to mind but there are plenty of others) or a Lionhead Cichlid from another local fishkeeper etc.

I would have thought an Apple Snail was too big for an Assassin to have a go at - I believe they will only go for something smaller than themselves.

I've heard of Assassins taking large chunks out of apple snails; I wouldn't risk it myself.

Pixietina; I have rams and they do absolutely nothing to my pest snails!
