Snails

[Jacko-Ainze]

Well I have a snail problem with my tank when it started but then i bought some clown loach and the problem stoped but now I have just noticed that snails have infested my external filter! Help what do I do?

Do nothing, they're not doing any harm.

 

[Jacko-Ainze]

yeah I guess so I mean its not like theres thousands of them.

In your filter they're fine, but if they're plaguing the tank, there is an under lying cause and that is generally decaying matter, which normally correlates to over feeding or dying plants.

Nothing to worry about. I always find snails in my filter but I almost never see any in my tank. My assassin snails are doing the trick! You could always put them back in the tank for your loach or just "dispose" of them.
