New to Forum and Pest Snail Question


Recommended Posts

Hello! I’ve recently got back into my aquarium hobby after a long hiatus. Found the aquarium co-op by watching Girl Talks Fish on YouTube. I live in Seattle and was able to visit the store in Edmonds! I’ve included a pic of Moonbeam, who is my newest addition to my 15 gallon planted aquarium whom he shares with two Venezuelan Corys. 

Wondering if there is a humane way to be rid of pest snails that have appeared to have been stowaways in one of my live plants. They are multiplying and I would rather not introduce an Assassin Snail. Do pet shops take snails? Other ideas? Thanks!

If you can find someone with loaches or puffers (or other snail-eating fish), they are usually willing to take pest snails off your hands. Feeding less *should* make the snail population drop, as well. I've got an out of control snail population of ramshorns, myself, and am reluctantly (only because I love the snails) adding some yoyo loaches but I have a 60 gallon tank - they need a bit of space!
