I contracted my first case of ramshorns today... LOL. A few came on some hornwort I got, and now they're spread all over my tank never to be seen until there's thousands. Dang it.

If you really hate them then:
Get clown or zebra loaches (minimum three but only if your tank allows)
Before you put the lights out put a jar in the tank with some lettuce in and in the morning take the jar out of toss the contents (lots of snails)
Control fish feeding. Make sure you don't over feed if needed restrict feeding to once a day (I usually feed twice a day)

Some people just leave them. They are great for clean up and if you don't over feed you won't get to many snails.

Yeah I have heard of the jar method and think it's the best. I enjoy them to a point. If they start uprooting all of my plants I'll have to take action haha.

Sup Kyle, I'm Bradley! What tanks do you have? And whats your stock?

Sup Kyle, I'm Bradley! What tanks do you have? And whats your stock?

I have one 20 gallon tall heavily planted with:
-5 rosy tetras
-3 Panda Cories
-1 Red wag platy
-1 angelfish (temporary for my friend, or to keep if I upgrade soon)

A 10 Gallon nano saltwater tank, soon to be upgraded to a 90 with:
-a pair of maroon clowns
-miscellaneous zoanthid colonies
-mushroom corals (hairy, ricordea, etc)
-2 hammer corals, one with 13 heads and one with two
-one single Duncan coral head
-kryptonite candy cane coral frag
-GSP frag
-one BTA (I rescued it from bleaching, it's in the process of regaining it's zooxanthellae algae)
-a few zebra hermit crabs
-2 peppermint shrimp

And a cycling lagoon tank with just some seqgrass and caulerpa. It's kind of a secondary project as I'm upgrading this weekend.

And finally, this weekend I'm also setting up a "forest" 10 gallon tank. It will be a heavily planted ten gallon that will slope up to land with a moss carpet and a tree that I will make as a diy project. Then I'll keep some white clouds and RCS in the tank, with a frog for on and off land. Maybe a fiddler crab too.

Lol I have to make do with the little profit I make working, but I only spend my money on fish so i slip by.

Hey Kyle welcome!
