Are the snails a problem? Nevermind, you wouldn't have asked if they
weren't...

What I would do - and I don't know if your mother will - is just stick my
hand in the tank and crush the snails for the betta to eat. Free food! My
old betta (rip) used to love crushed snails.

I set up a small 10G planted tank with wisteria, cabomba, Anubius for my
mother about 4 months ago. All was fine, but know she is overrun with
small black snails. Since the tank is so small and she keeps a betta in
it,
I don't think buying a loach would be appropriat action. Is there a
solution that won't kill the plants?
