Hello,
So.... I have a freshwater 90 gallon aquarium that I am going to make into a planted aquarium.. Currently all I have inside the tank is a large piece of driftwood and one fish with 150 pounds of sea chem fluorite. Anyways I have small snails (about the size of the tip of a needle) all over the driftwood and bottom/back of my tank.. It started with some like 5 larger snails that I saw about a week ago, I quickly scooped them out with the net. Days later more were back so I removed them...Now its an epidemic..I have little ones everywhere and like 20 or so large ones....I tried removing them but that is PITA.....they multiply way to fast too keep up with removing them with a net! So basically I have a tank that is full of nothing but snails and don't know what to do as this has never happened to me before. The small snails are grayish in color where as the larger ones are a brownish tan color... What can I do to get the nasty things out of my tank so I can get to planting and getting more fish?????? Any help would be much appreciated as I am tired of looking at all of these snails... Thank you
