snail control

[exasperatus2002]

I have a 55 gallon hill stream tank. I keep Sewellia lineolata & North American natives in it (darters & dace) water temp is usually around 75*F. Though it did top out at 80* during a summer heat wave we had. Im looking for a natural control for snail control. Can anyone recommend anything?

Bait and remove.
Pond snails will eat almost anything, but try all sorts of fresh or lightly cooked vegetables.
Other snails might be a bit more picky, but you will find something they like. Then it is just a matter of keeping a little bit of bait in the tank and removing it whenever there are snails grouped around it.

Forgot to mention they're malaysian trumpet snails. Wish they were rams horn snails then I'd just squish them.

They are almost impossible to get rid of. You can try baiting, but they are not attracted to very much.

The larger ones can be hand picked off the glass. I find many more of them right after a water change.

Reduce feeding.

Assassin snails will kill them.
