Snails Snails Snails

[Lezlee]

Can anyone please help, I have a 60 litre tank full of guppies from babies to adults. I am inundated with snails. I bought some stuff from my local fish shop but I dont really want to use it as there are fry in the tank. Does anyone know any other remedies that work to get rid of them. I appreciate any comments. Thank you, Lee

Hi there, there's a few topics about this scattered around, but the most helpful is probably the one that's stickied in the "Invertebrates" forum, which is "Pest snails and how to get rid of them".

You can find it here: Pest Snails Linky

Hope this helps.

This is the least fun way but I just spend half an hour with my arm in the tank and pick them all out and squash any egg patches I find, although this is not 100% effective it keeps them under control in my case. Luckily I have a yabbie that loves to eat the snails so I throw them in his tank.
