Snails?

[QHowes]

I baught some live plants (wisteria) for my 25 gallon tank. Now I have noticed some snails which i know isnt uncommon...are they going to take over my tank or should i just leave them be?

TIA

If you dont over feed your tank they should be fine. probably even helpful

(they will probubly get a lot greater in number than you would like)

if you've got room and fancy a new fish - a loach of some sort might be a good idea.

once snails are in the tank there is very little you can do to get rid of them, just control their numbers.

You could try to bait them overnight by placing a lettuce leaf in the tank. In the morning it should be covered in snails. You can then remove them and get rid of them.
