Click to expand... If you are talking about a high heat and salt treatment, most definitley. I wouldn't do it with snails in the tank.

Mar 8, 2005 #5 OP OP C cspaccio Aquarium Advice Apprentice Joined Jan 30, 2005 Messages 31 Location Buffalo/Rochester NY I'm talking about a blue liquid called "Rid Ich+". I am wondering if I should take my snails out or if it is ok to leave them in?
