Pesty little trumpet snails

[Ashlyn]

How do you get rid of your pesty trumpet snails? In the tank there are yo-yo loaches, chain loaches but they ignore these snails. 
 

whenever the tank is cleaned we syphon as much as we can out of the gravel but they are thriving.

You could make a DIY snail trap. Put some cucumber or something in a container with holes big enough for the snails to go into. Or you can reduce feeding in the tank to reduce the population or snails. Because snails only populate to how much food is available

Dwarf chain loaches. Went from seeing them literally coating every surface after lights out to never seeing them. Plus they’re up there in my top 3 loaches. Gorgeous and fun to keep!
