Those snail catcher you slide up the aquarium glass are amazing you roll it up slowly and allow them to be rolled into the trap, saves a lot of time and far more caught.

This is another great video matt, I manually removed my snails as have a lot now I only brought 4 now I have about 100 so I guess I am really overfeeding the tank, so I will slow down on this. Thanks again for all the great info have a fabulous day :)

I was so happy to see your video. Some people are wondering what to do with them so I decided to say where I've gotten to on that. I have a 10G tank with some young Assassin snails. They need to eat too! When I was a kid a few decades ago I was inundated with nuisance snails after buying one snail [must have been a pond snail], nothing else available 50 years ago to a young teen. I was never was able to get rid of them until I took down the tank for a move and didn't re-stock. I'm back into having aquariums now and learned about Assassin Snails. I wasn't going to get any but it turned out I needed them after all. Bought some plants and now have nuisance snails in all tanks. I was feeling very overwhelmed until I realized the simple solution. Makes me squirmy to do it but I've learned it's called the circle of life ;-) THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!, I appreciated it very m uch 🙂

At first I let them stay, and then they were a solid indication that I was overfeeding and tank cleaning was lacking. I've successfully removed hundreds over the last weeks and the population has declined with more regular cleanings and reasonable feedings. I will have to try the lettuce and cucumber, but they all go for the algae wafters I feed my shrimp and mystery snails with, so they seems to attract a ton over to an easily accessible side of the tank. I'll also have to try the tweezers. I've been using a shrimp net to knock them off and catch them as they float.

Great video explaining what to do, Yes like snails, Brought plant like other plants didn't wash it first now got lots snails out of tank, Doing what you said cucumber great for catching them, Will keep the ones I want get rid of other ones. They are fascinating to watch. Wash plants in future definitely thanks again was very helpful.

Absolutely spot on video!! This is so well presented and your content is well researched. Thanks!!

[MelCarden]

After removing snails, what should I do with them ? I can't release them in wild can I ? I also don't want to kill them. Why don't platies or guppies eat the snail eags ? Will it be good idea to put extra shrimps ( I like shrimps) which can act as competition as algae eater to snails ?

I really like your videos because of the way you explain things. I can understand everything you say. I hope you stick with it and that your channel grows!

100 snails😳I was worried when I just found 1 just a moment ago and had to look up how to get rid of them and came across your channel 😁Very helpful vid👍subscribed😁

Where can I release the snails after taking them out of the tanks?

[justinlay]

they honestly look good for nano aquariums, but too much can be bad, they can clean small corners very well and leaves

Great…..I’m in the middle of doing a fishless cycle that involves adding fish food to spark up an ammonia spike. My tank has a bunch of old food sitting on the substrate and I just plucked 4 baby bladder snails that were climbing on the glass. No ammonia spike yet but hopefully they won’t last through one if it happens.

Pond vs bladder snails
Pond have triangle antennas shell to the right
Bladder thin antennas and shell to the left

Vege traps? I'm testing this today! :D

[Imyourmoose]

I bought a liquid to put in a bucket with water kill all living organism on the plant. Did it work? No, idk why lol

Another good fish that’s available to control pest snail are barbs, I used Six banded Barb in my tank they will go for the snails when they are hungry, you can use also cherry barb, snakeskin barb, Sumatra barb or golden barb
