Gr!! Snail problems!!!

One slice of raw cucumber added in the evening and removed the next morning will drag out every tiny snail in your tank within weeks..!
Or keep a tank of puffers – when twice a week is enough, or you will run short of food..!

I tried every type of veggie I think, non-worked.

I am going to try adding a picture to prove my point. Even my fan shrimps get in on the act..!

What do you exactly do, I guess I could try it again but I think most of the snails are gone.

Just tell me step by step.

Couldn't be simpler. Once a week I cut three inches from a fresh cucumber, trim off the skin, cut into thin ¼ inch slices, and just dump it into all my tanks [I do have an awful lot of tanks..!]
All my fish eat it, all my shrimps eat it, and it is a total snail magnet..!

Well I tried it and it never worked for some reason, I guess I could try again but I think all my snails are pretty much gone (manually picked them out.)

Is it the type of snail I have maybe? I have gilled snails.

Cucumber attracts all of my snails – Ram's horn, Apple, and MTS. As you can see from my first picture, they can't get enough of it..!

Well i'll try it again tonight.

So get a cucumber, cut the middle and skin out, put it in there right before lights out then in the morning take it out?

 

[zoologist101]

Don't cut the middle out, that's the bit they like the best. And you can do it at anytime of day or night.
