Too Many Pest Snails!

[fishy55599]

I have got a small 35litre tank with loads of pest snails, how to get rid of them?

Put a lettuce leaf in there overnight (weighed down) and in the morning they should be all over it and you can then lift them out.

A lot of people say that too many snails can be a sign of overfeeding btw.

o, well i put cucumber in for my shrimp will that work aswell.
It could be overfeeding coz i was trying to get my mollie to feed because he looked starved (flat belly) but he died
I havent had this many snails ever, i new i had about 2-3 i wanted to kill but there are lots of little ones climing the glass

i suggest a loach.. loaches usually eat snails.. but look up the correct loaches because some loaches dont eat snails...e.g. kuhli loaches.
