Shrimp and snails help!!

[Macdaddydaze]

I have red cherry shrimp colony and my plants carried pond snails and now am over run and they are competing with my shrimp for food so I was wondering if I add assassin snails would they be a threat to my shrimp?

No they won't eat your shrimp. Another trick is, put a piece of lettuce in the tank and the snails will attack it and remove it in the morning

OK what kind of lettuce iceburg or romaine?

Iceberg. Just be sure and splash some raspberry vinaigrette dressing on it. OS,

You can also put your fish net down at the bottom and fill it with a sinking food pellet. Turn all lights off. Come back a few hours later and remove the net. It will be full of snails

I will do both since I have at least 150 snails

Your joking right?

 

[Old Scales]

Yes. But Iceberg is firmest and won't melt into a mess in your tank as quick as the others. OS.

Yes of course he was joking but maybe the snails would like it more with some dressing!

[Macdaddydaze]
