I found a pond snail that I don't want in my tank. I'm sure there are more. I know how to trap them, etc. What I don't know is how to kill them. Assassin snails or loaches are not an option because I have mysteries that I want to keep and I'm close to overstocked as it is.

So, maybe this is a stupid question, but do I just crush them or what? I hate the idea of it - they're critters too, I just can't have them in my tank. What's the best/most humane way to get rid of them?
 
If you don't like crushing them, you can put them into a zip lock bag and put them in your freezer it causes them to go to sleep and it is humane :)
 
Post an add on here and give them to someone just for the cost of shipping. You and the person buying them will both be happy.
