I have these very hard shell snails that come out in plague proportions of a night and are eating my java moss (and other plants ) you don't usually see them during the day but I want them gone. Any suggestions

Hello dash...
Drop a small piece of iceberg lettuce into the tank. Never knew a snail that could resist iceberg lettuce. Leave the lettuce in the tank overnight and the snails will attach themselves to it. In the morning, remove the lettuce and put it into the trash. Follow this procedure until you've removed the desired number of snails.

Looks like its time to loach up. Thanks
Mebbid aren't there some smaller loaches that will do the job?

I have recently read on the internet that Yo-Yo loaches WILL eat snails. So, that may be an option.Interested how you get on if they are MTS. They are meant to be hard for loaches to get in to due to shell length.
My yo yo loaches have knocked off most snails. The ramshorn snails seem to be gradually reducing in number. The MTS seem to be surviving but hard to keep track. Also I suspect my loaches are very lazy.
