It had to happen I suppose. One of my fish tanks was overrun by snails. They usually get introduced to tank as eggs attached to new aquatic plants.
To get rid of them usually means taking everything out of the tank, including uprooting aquatic plants, thereby arresting their growth, or often killing the plants.
So after 45 years of keeping, breeding and showing freshwater tropical fish I discovered something that is solving my snail problem... another snail!
This snail is commonly known as an Assassin Snail and lives on other snails.
Before buying 5 of them in Maxi's Zoo in Finglas if you looked at my tank the glass was covered in snails. Now ou'd be hard pushed to spot the odd one or two that are left.
If you keep freshwater tropicals and have snails you want to be rid of, don't take the tank apart to clean it. Instead buy 3 or 4 of the little guys below. Put them in your tank and wait a week or two to see the huge difference.

I think they have now completed the study of the best bug to introduce into UK to try get rid of the Japanese Knotweed disaster....yeah it's a bug.....but one which wont bring more problems than it solves.
Then after its cleared your aquarium of all other snails you have to feed it on pellet food.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.

I use saucers with beer in them. Put them out at night and in the morning you'll find a lot of drowned slugs that died happy.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.
