OK, so I've decided to get rid of ALL the snails. :facepalm: 1. How do I ensure that I get rid of all eggs without harming my guppies? I've decided that I will never ever get snails again!! So I want to ensure that the tank is "sterile" from all snails/their eggs/possible babies/etc...

OK, so my Apple snail numbers are getting out of hand (I stop counting at 62 babies in 1 tank) , no matter how many wc's and cooking of stones, "furniture" and filters I'm doing. :( Now I'm seriously considering getting assassin snails, but I googled them and saw a post on a similar forum...

:confused: I cleaned my 25l tank a few weeks ago. With clean I mean all water out, tank scrubbed, ornaments scrubbed and gravel scrubbed and soaked in boiling water. I did the same with the breeding net. This was to make sure that all the snail eggs are destroyed. After all that, I noticed...

I have 4 adult apple snails: 2 male and 2 female. They seem to only "reproduce" with their mates when they were seperated couples (1 male and 1 female per tank). Do they only have one mate for life? PS: I know the tank is overcrowded, I'm working on resealing another tank....

I'm very confused at the moment. Could someone please clear this up: Aquarium lights should be switched off at night? or Aquarium lights should be on at all times? or Aquariums that are close to or by windows don't need lights? Regardless of fish/snails/etc... I know the sun creates...

Will my guppies suffer if I split males from females?? I have 3 pregnant females at the moment....
