snails had enough

[debiasir]

Right i have had enough of the annoying snails that seem to appear everywhere in the tank so i am going to treat the tank with a snail chemical

stupid question can it harm fish and should i remove my apple snail while treating

 

[-*-MicHAeL-*-]

i dont know if it will harm the fish but it will harm ur apple snail

It shouldn't harm the fish, but i would remove the apple snail, as it a snail and you will kill it, have you floated a lettuce leaf in the tank.

i havnt wilder do i just plonk it on the surface

how will snails get on it

what i did when i had a snail problem was to fill a cola bottle with lettuce and leve it over night and in the morning it would be full of snails

also what size is your tank as 3 or 4 clown loaches would control the problem

Long, thick slices of cucumber work best for removing large numbers of snails.

Do as michael has suggested it's meant to work, good luck.

 

[debiasir]

the tank is to small for those fish

i have a plec that might get tuck in the bottle so will cut it down a bit

thanks
