oooh what kind of snails you got ? I really would love to keep some apple snails but no one sells those anymore :(

i'm not really sure they hitched a ride with some guppies and a Nerite snail that I bought at the pet store and now they have multiplied by the 100s >-> there not nerites thats for sure :P and there not apples ether

OOOOH OH OH OH I know these , little brown ones ? Those are pretty common I got a bunch in my tank too XD

I looked up some snails that can breed in freshwater and I think they might be Pond Snails

yeah they are common in most pet places , infact they consider them a pest. I personally like them a lot.

yeah I like them too :3 especially now that they made me a statue :O that I accidently destroyed....>-> damn
though I think it might be bad for the tank if they keep going crazy making babies >->

thats why people dont like them XD , get you a gold fish that will solve that pretty quick haha. My goldfish would eat enough of them to keep them from going too crazy

lol my tank is too small for a goldfish, they make too much waste. I am thinking about getting two assassin snails as they eat pond snails(feel a little bad about it tho >->)

yeah but you don't want them to over run your tank completely. I am thinking about getting a single simple blackmore and he can live in the big 35 gallon tank.

My tank is a 10 gallon or a little bigger so I only have small fish that don't eat them :P But Assassin snails I can do thinking about 2 or 3 as they breed too but a lot slower then the ponds do :P I don't want to get rid of ALL of them just cut down their numbers a bit.

hmm let me think there are some small fish that do eat them too i think

should of got a picture XD

Clown Loaches
Clown loaches (Chromobotia macracanthus) are the first fish most hobbyists think of for snail eradication. These fish will eat just about any snail they can find. The drawback to these fish are that they get large. In the wild, they can grow more than a foot long. However, in captivity they rarely grow more than 7 inches long. Still, they are schooling fish, so they need to share a tank with other members of their species to feel comfortable. They are also somewhat picky in their tank mates; they'll get stressed by active, fast-swimming fish.
Smaller Loaches
Other, smaller loaches also eat snails. The yo-yo loach (Botia almorhae) and the skunk loach (Yasuhikotakia morleti) both stay under 5 inches in length. They are both schooling fish who tolerate other fish better than they do their larger clown loach cousins. The one caveat in their compatibility is that these species will sometimes nip at long-finned fish.


actually after reading this I may consider a Loach , used to have a Dojo loach years ago named sneaky I miss that bugger. I had him for years and used to love feeding him ,hed always come to the top

they look cool but sadly from what i've read they need need more than a 20-55 gallon tank v-v my 10/11 gal is too small

what really ? hmm guess it also depends on the loach.

ah and I don't think the other loaches are for me I don't want to stress my guppies and my ottos
