Tank Pest - Snail! Options

[white horse T1]

bloody hell, the planting campaign in my sump tank has infested my tank with snails. plant also must quarantine.....wah lao. nobody tell me leh.

and this tiny buggers kept coming back eventhough i kill more than 50 alr in 2 go. they just kept crawling back from no where.

bought the Snail Stop potion to do them up once and for all with concentrated salt solution. I reckon it will take 2 weeks to rid them once and for all. LHS ask me to buy puffer fishes. tell them no thanks, i stick to snail posion.

salt dun kill snails, not even the transparent jelly like snail eggs nest hidden among the leaves. Take your fish out, pour in slightly higher concentration of copper safe for a few days. Not too sure will in destroy your filter but got to do it !!!

Always qt your plants with copper solution and PP dip to prevent such incidents.

Another way is to keep a small puffer fish, 1 will do the job. but puffer will die after the annihilation of snail population. Never put a puffer with goldfish. Big golden apple snail in puffer's eyes.
