snails in my fish tank!!!!!
I discovered 3 super small snails in my fish tank(not sure if there are more)...From what I researched, they seem to be pond snails and can hitch I ride into your tank through aquatic plants. I have a lot of plants in my tank and I heard they are mean plant eaters. Is there any fish/invert that I can buy to get rid of them? Nothing too big because I have honey gouramis, tetras and mollies in my tank.Help please! Thanks.

Re: snails in my fish tank!!!!!
Trap them! I'll buy them from you. Use a piece of skinned boiled zucchini in a mesh bag to lure them.
Or you could just smash them...

Re: snails in my fish tank!!!!!
OK gizmo you need them for your assins. I go to our pet store and take all they can catch for my clown loaches. The clowns will get far to large for your 20 gallon iamdixon. I have heard and seen some kulli loaches eat the smaller snails and you could keep 3-4 in your 20 gallon IMO. This isnt gaurenteed but if you like them and you have room then you could give them a try.
