So I used to have a snail problem, this was 3 years ago around this time. I was going to use live plants and had a few to start. I wound up not having the money at the time to support them and get the correct lights so I gave them to a friend. However I did get some snail friends along the way while getting the plants. After they got out of control and fast I got a few loaches and they cleaned up my snail problem. Here it is 3 years later and all the sudden I have snails. I saw 2 little dots on the back of my tank last week thought nothing of it, maybe spills or something on the outside of just flake food stuck on it. Now I look at my tank tonight and I see hundreds of snails all sooo tiny all over the place. On the decor and walls of the tank. Unfortunately the loaches "disappeared" about a year ago. Not really sure what happened I realized one day I was down to 1 and then after a few months that one was missing as well. So how did the snails even come about and well what can I do about it? My main focus on my a cichlid tank right next to my tropical tank, but I still have some nice all black angelfish in my tropical tank and still take care of it with weekly 10% changes and do monthly liquid tests on the tropical tank. However I dont want the snails! Can anyone help me with this situation?
