I read there very hard to get rid of. I bought a snail catcher and I’m trying zucchini slices. I need a fish that will eat them and not my shrimp. Are they harmful to red cherries? I bought a Val plant from a well established dealer, he is the only one I buy from for years. I did an Alum dip as usual, so I don’t know where these things came from. I just want them out of my tank! Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE47 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I wish you the best of luck removing snails. I had bladder snails that hitched a ride into my tank on some plants well I finally got them taken care of and low and behold ramshorn snails appeared I didn't try removing them. I'm sure the snails all had a good laugh about that one 😂 My point is that while its not impossible to remove all the snails it can be hard so don't be discouraged if it takes awhile to remove them all.

AllFishNoBrakes Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Agreed. It can take a while as their eggs can hide and even when you thought you had them all, more hatch and you have new snails. They are not detrimental to your shrimp. If anything, I think they’re beneficial and I welcome them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
