wormer plus, although, either way, you will have an ammonia spike from rotting pest snails.

Wormer plus though?? Is this better? And again good for fry?

yeah, shelagh's plan is better.. just get 1 assasin though, that way, they wont breed and make a mess.

I have one which won't solve my problems but I read somewhere they eat one snail a week :blink:

? Have you tried this method and find they do the job? How many do you think would be suitable? Thanks for the alternative suggestion.

Edit : sorry just saw your reply adandrews. Would one be enough??? I have had one in with one of the tanks, it has lessened to some extent but I am convinced that is because they overpopulated so much they ate themselves out of house and home...

i havnt used them personally, but the combination of cutting down feeding, picking out any when you see them and one of these guys for a month would surely rid you of them.
