Aquarium Advice Regular
for some odd reason i seem to be finding more and more snails in my tank as of late. 2 of them made it home when i bought a live plant a few months ago, and i know that these are some kind of snails that dont need to mate to have offspring because when i moved them to a glass jar (yes i know i am a monster) they dropped a few eggs. i put them back into the tank (big mistake i found out) and now im finding lil ones popping up like crazy! i think the smaller ones were hidden in there because i got rid of all the ones in the jar and the two that originally snuck in are HUGE compared to where they were. i was feeding them to my two goldfish i have in a bowl, but they have seem to lost their appetite for escargo apparently. if anybody has any tips for ridding my tank of these prolific babymakers, i would love to hear it. im open to all suggestions. and someone told me that snails couldnt survive in a brackish tank, but they should come see how many i have. i know if i pick them off and flush them it wont do too much to get rid of them as they are really good ninjas at hiding, but if there is any fish i can put in my tank that would love to snack on them i would love to find out which ones....thanks guys
