Kendra Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I have a 20 gal freshwater tank with a snail problem. I have glo 4 glo tetras and 5 small barbs and a small bn pleco. How do I get rid of the snails?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you want to have less snails then feeding less is the quick/easy fix. If you want zero snails then a dwarf chain loach (or other appropriately sized snail predator for a 20G community tank) and feeding less would be my suggestions. Or learn to embrace the "got snails" lifestyle (and still feed a little less) is my go to 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmonger_X Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 No. Mystery snails will just make more snails. A snail eating loach or assassin snails will work. Less feeding can also lessen the population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
