Have the mysterys laid any eggs? Since the mysterys are black, it will be a bit harder to tell the difference. Mysterys's spiral part of the shell is facing the sides while pond snails spirals face backwards ( away from the head )

You may need to delete some photos and create some space. Not sure. Never had that happen to me.

I have plenty snails too, can anyone tell me why and is it okay?

 

[reefdiver]

There pond snails. They multiply fast do to ever feeding.

 

[CherryBee]

Do I leave the snails in or take them out

 

[reefdiver]

You can leave them if you like them. If not get them out but it will take some time since you may have eggs.

Just get some assassin snails. Taking pond snails out is prob the hardest job out there. You seem to get them all and all of a sudden, more pop out again. Assassin snails will get rid of the snails by eating them.

Yes...yes they are.

i know some loaches that would love to feast on some live snails.

 

[FishCr8zy]

Yes...yes they are.

That is a whole lot of snails! You need some loaches that eat snails ( like huiz said ) or assassin snails.

Just google DIY aquarium snail trap and reduce the amount you feed. I'd also maybe gravel vac a bit more and make sure there isn't leftover food hanging around.

Also how old is the tank? Is there an excess of algae they're feeding on?

Tank is almost 2yrs old. I have 6 albino bristle nose plecos. So no algae left overs
