Hello all!
I have just recently started my first tank and have delved way deeper than I thought I would. I have moved from a 5 gallon gravel planted tank with a few anubias and one crypt to a 10 gal dirted tank with nutrient rich substrate and planted 10 jungle vals along with my two anubias barteri, one reg anubias, and one unknown crypt. I have two ramshorn in this tank and I’m noticing that they’re eating the crap out of my vals and anubias, and they keep replacing the eaten leaves. I’m wondering what I should do because I feel bad getting rid of the ramshorns and I also think they look really nice. Should I give the snails to my local pet store? I don’t want to kill them or release them out into the wild. What’s the best plan? Can I feed them wafers to get them to stop eating the plants? I’ve tried a few times and I can’t see much of a difference but I haven’t done it consistently.
There is a Betta, a school of ember tetras, and a few Ottos, and plenty of Malaysian trumpet snails in the tank as well.
I fertilize the water column with seachem flourish, flourish iron, and flourish excel.
Thank you!
