It's not totally true. At least not in the concentrations in a feeshwater tank. I found a few more on the wall still alive.

I slacked on checking my tank for snails for a few days, I went from none visable to a few larger and TONS of small snails. I am worried about being overrun.

I remeber from childhood that salt kills snails. Is that true in all cases?

I just put some Dr Wellfish in my 10 gal yeaterday. Im waiting to see what happenes. Bearfan I agree with you that the ammount seemed too high. I put 1 teaspoon per five gallons instead of 1 Tablespoon like it said.

I had a Chinese Algo Eater take the dorsal and tail fin off of one of my first Corys. But I have never heard of Tetras nipping fins. I have 2 skurt and 3 Head-Tail light tetras in my tank also. The nipping stopped after I removed the Chinese. That Cory later died, so I replaced those 2 with...

Is there a place on the net where I can see pictures of common malidies and paracites? I really dont know what to look for?

I guess I have allways been facinated with fish. Everytime we went to a store that sold fish, I would allways stare at the display tanks. One time last summer we were at Mejer, My wife finally said that were getting a tank because maybe if I had my own fish, we can move past the fish in the...

I'm just getting started, Just over 7 months now. I think im doing great. I have only lost one fish to mysterious causes, a gold skurt tetra. I lost a cory to an over agressive chinese alge eater who liked Sushi.

I am just starting so I only have a 10 running. I have a 29 in the house and am building a plain oak cabinet for it. Anything bigger and Sandi says well need a bigger house. (waits for the shouts of "NEWBIE") :n00b:

Thanks. That cucumber idea sounds the best. I know snails are good to a point, but I also know that they can overrun a tank in no time, and the cucumber has got to be better than that "Had A Snail" stuff im putting in. My Brother suggested freshwater aquarium salt. I know that salt can help...

I have a 10 gal tank with Tetras and 3 corys. I bought live plants a month ago, and got infected with tiny snails. I have been fishing them out as I find them, and have tried a product called "Had a snail" i picked up from PetSmart, both to small effect. Does anyone know how to rid my tank...
