Those little round and pesky ones!!! Even chemicals don't kill them!!!
Does anyone know at what temperature these bastards die? I consider taking all plants and fish out and dropping a boiler element in the aquarium! |

take the tank up to about 35c for about 3 days. dont take the temp up too high or theeres a chance the glass will crack |

I have 2 Clown Loachers!!! These bustards can easily take 3 of those snails in one go but they DON'T! It is they never learned that those can be a snack!

sounds like you need to change the lot get the gravel pout and boil it, that's were the eggs are. I've used chemicals as am having same prob atm since i brought some mollies in from (no names mentioned).... seems mine might be under control though |

Try putting a lettuce leaf in the tank over night it'll be covered in snails by the morning |

Interesting..... I came on this forum to ask the very same question having used 2 chemical products to no avail. Does the carbon filter remove the copper sulphate? In other words, should I remove it completely whilst treating or would I be wasting my time? |

Mollies? Did snails ride the fish!? |

think the eggs were in the water, as there were snails in the tank i got them from.....never thought not to put the water in the tank too, as they were local, so same water chemistry. |
