Snails!

[KrystaK]

I found one in my tank in mid November.
Last I did a tank cleaning and noticed a whole gaggle of baby snails. So I did the normal fish keeper thing - went on a snail squishing rampage.
But they're still around
So do assassin snails work on newly hatched 'invader-snails'? Also, if I get assassin snails will they bug my apple snails or should they be safe?
So where's a good place to order from Assassin snails from? I live in Ontario, so Northern states preferably lol

Assassin snails will eat newly-hatched snails quite happily, yes, and I would have thought that an apple snail was big enough to be safe. Make sure you feed sparingly as well, if you get inundated with pest snails, it's a sign that you are overfeeding.

One or two assassins will mop up the rest.

yust go on a HUGE squishing rampage and get a couple of assasins - like lock man said, the apple snail is big enough to be sage and after all the pest snails are gone the assasin snails will eat normal stuff they find too!

Hmmm clown loaches get really big. They are nice, i have two, they do eat snails!

But watch out not to overstock. They get huge.
