I have to pond snails, possibly giant as one has reached 1/2 inch and is currently growing new shell. anywway I just noticed this slimy trail on the side of the tank and I looked really close and realised it was snail eggs. YAY (maybe). My questions are as follows.
1. What's the best way to destroy the eggs (crush them, scrape them off then leave them in tank, or scrape them off and throw them away)?
2. What effect's will the new snails have on my tank? (PH changes because of the shells?, more ammonia than the tank can handle, or just cool little shelled slugs climbing around on everything)
3. What is the minimum size (of snail) for the lettuce trick to work? (put lettuce in tank tommorrow morning pull out all the snails on the lettuce?)
4. will anything very small eat snails and live in cold water?
5. If something will eat them then how can I keep atl east a few alive because I think they are cool.
