:thanks: , I'll be following the link's advice and see what happens. I will be removing most to give to my local pet store, but I'm concerned about those I can not yet see and eggs. Let's hope I'll have a snail free life!

I've finally decided to share the embarrassment... :ermm: As a child I loved collecting frog fry (don't know what they are actually called) and keep them in tins or jars in our garage close to the garbage for them to have food... Then they kept disappearing and my parents couldn't stand my...

OK, so I've decided to get rid of ALL the snails. :facepalm: 1. How do I ensure that I get rid of all eggs without harming my guppies? I've decided that I will never ever get snails again!! So I want to ensure that the tank is "sterile" from all snails/their eggs/possible babies/etc...

Yes, as I started off with 4 adult apple snails who then started laying eggs above and below water line... Trust me, I've researched VERY well and they are all apple snails! AND I've never had ANY other snails EVER... The 4 adults mentioned above were my first venture into snails in...

lol, I do that, but somehow babies still appear.... not all my apple snails lay above the water line! As soon as I see a cluster I destroy it, but those eggs in the substrate or water or where ever they freaking come from.... I mean, I had Bruce's tank completely empty except for Bruce...

Thanks guys, you just helped with my decission... See Threat titled: To assassinate or Not? :thanks:

Take them out? As in just kill them? Or do you mean the assassin snails? oh, just kill them (take them out)? :confused::confused: :confused::confused: :confused::confused: Sorry, alLexX, I'm totally confused now...

My problem too, thus most of my fry gets eaten before I realise a female was/is pregnant... :( There must be another way to know if they are pregnant??? :confused: My guppies are all round-bellied (males and females)!! :banghead:

OK, so my Apple snail numbers are getting out of hand (I stop counting at 62 babies in 1 tank) , no matter how many wc's and cooking of stones, "furniture" and filters I'm doing. :( Now I'm seriously considering getting assassin snails, but I googled them and saw a post on a similar forum...

oh yes, the female being attacked is pregnant. Could the other female know that she might be due to give birth soon??

35 litre tank with 2 danios and 2 female guppies and 2 male guppies...

:thanks: all. I'll give it some serious thought while none of my guppies are pregnant at the moment...

Hi Just wondering if anyone can tell me under which circumstances guppies fight with each other?? Seems especially the female attacking the other female. This is not my tanks, it's my little brother's tank. He also has 2 Danios in there with the 4 guppies (2 male and 2 female). Any...

Hi all Just wondering which is the best to have in an aquarium? I'm considering this, as my guppy females seem to go into labour when we are at work and by the time we get home, the fry have been eaten... :( I am a NO to LOW maintenance person, so which will be the healthiest, easiest and...

Shame, yes. It must be hard. I'm the same when it comes to taking life from any creature. Even ants and spiders can reside in my house unharmed... ;) BUT I do think he is very ill and that the growth might be the problem. Could you not ask your local pet shop or lfs if they might know what...
