I do put cucumber in there every now and then and snails take absolutly no notice of it what so ever. There are too many to go around crushing them, and I think its mean lol.
They are everywhere in there. Just looking at the tank now with out searching for them, I can see 7 of them!

You can do what I did.... take out the fish and any decor, completely drain the tank, change the substrate, remove and throw out your filter and steal one mature filter pad from your husband's tank, refill with new water, replace fish and decor and monitor very carefully until the new filter settles in.

Or.....

You can remove them by hand and toss them in the garbage can.

Hi don't know why mynames come up with your question . Anyway, I had alot of very small snails in my tank and I have got rid of them by sucking them out with a new turkey baster (you know, that you suck the fat up with!) It worked for me
