Ok so I bought a price of driftwood from petco a couple weeks ago and I guess a pest snail hitchhicked back to my tank. It laid eggs EVERYWHERE!!!! What am I going to do when the hatch? I'll have 100+ snails in my 10g. They won't have enough algae and they'll all die and cause an ammo spike!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!
 
Manually remove them. Eggs and snails. Don't overfeed and it shouldn't be an issue.
 
I crushed a bunch of babies and couldnt get them out... hope I dont have an ammonia spike...
 
I cant siphon my tank bc of the baby rcs... Im hoping the assassins or cories or rcs will eat them...
 
Alright I removed the fake plant with all the eggs on it out and siphoned the glass. The three snails are in a fish bowl until I figure out what to do with them. What should I do with the fake plant? It's sitting in hot water right now and I don't want to touch it because the egg sacks give me the hibijibies.
