Theplatymaster Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 i just wanted to post a picture of my platy breeding setup mini ramshorn snail colony: i put in flakes for the platies, and then the ramshorn snails get sinking foods, this will be good once i add fry to this setup (the parents will be removed) to help prevent water fouling from uneaten food. the picture does not do it justice, but there are snails EVERYWHERE in this tank, and its pretty awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Ever thought about controlling them with some loaches? 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stink so badly! good luck removing them, unless you have some sort of snail trap... also just give your friends some plant clippings for "no special reason" if they get snails, well thats life...

Now that there are worms in the tank it might be time to get rid of the snails too! Edited February 19, 2023 by Cinnebuns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first I haven't gotten rid of the minis yet. It's in the works. But also, they are in different tanks. I willingly got the regular ones. The minis came in on plants and have been an adventure ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
