how to rid of snails

in one of my tanks I have snails I found this on net you need 9 volt battrie like the ones used in smoke alarms 2 peices of copper wire and bit of tape or rubber band to hold wires in place one on - and one on+ about six inch of wire cross the two wires so the 2 are touching and the two ends are in water bend wires so battrie is out side tank so theres no chance of it doing any harm to fish I tryed this it got them down in numbers it does not harm fish it must zap the young snails it worked for me

Just use kusuri wormer plus and it kills almost all of them with one dose.

good idea you can use the same method if you get hydra as well

dont use chemicals if can help it this worked for me 2 9volt batteries 30 pence wire free chemicals cost lot more get dose wrong and could wipe you out this is safe

People who use kusuri for discus worming sometimes even triple the dose with no ill effects. As long as your careful I don't see a problem. I had a slight problem with Malaysian trumpet snails and one dose of kusuri solved it.

i was just about to say works well for hydra as well mick

I used a wormer on my discus from discus place nothing happened so they did not have worms there is signs that they have worms any way mine had good weight on them my discus where like house bricks

Or do it the old fashioned way squash the snails on the side of the glass and watch the fish have a field day.

getting rid of snails old style glass coke bottle
with a piece of string attached Blanch some lettuce
sink bottle to the bottom of tank black out tank
for several hours go back lift out bottle by string bingo
a bottle full of snails place snails in bucket of salt water END OF SNAIL .

water changes seem to kill them as well and crushing them on glass when you see them helps as well

try clown loach in the tanks helps or any kind of loach. and also watch if you using chemical to kill snails as dead snails have to be removed or you have big surge in ammonia and nitrite problems

then when you get rid of snails your stuck with loach then you would have to getrid of loach by putting piranha in the tank then you stuck with a piranha then you would put shark in to get piranha then you stuck with that so I will stick with battery you can allways take it out put it in the draw

ive tried loach they dont work for me so i just squash then

Fishtanker i think your bringing things way out of proportion there. Sharks don't live in the same stretch of water has piranhas.

but could put one in fish tank lol

Well you could but you need a big tank though.
