Hi Everyone
I am afraid to say that I made the mistake of not washing some new plants before adding them to my aquarium and now I have about 60 baby snails (3 different types too!) taking over my tank. I have never seen anything like it! I had first tried picking them out when I saw them but they are fast taking over my tank.
This morning, whilst wondering what to do about the snails, I spotted this ugly little bug that looks like a cross between a scorpion and a shrimp. After a bit of Googling it looks like a damselfly nymph. I have now been routing around in the gravel trying to find it but it seems to be in hiding.
So my question is, is there anything that will eat both snails and this ugly little nymph? I will be keeping the Malaysian trumpet snails and they are beneficial to the aquarium but the rest have to go! And I am concerned about my small fish with the damselfly nymph in the tank. Please help!!!
Thanks
