Plant help please :)
Hey everyone,
I just set up a new tank and want to transfer some of my plants from another tank into the brand new one. However, the old tank has snails (the wicked little brown pond species). I DO NOT want to start snails in the new tank! Help! What kind of plant soak can I do that will kill the snails and their eggs? Most of the plants I will be transferring are amazon swords. The few others are hornwort, watersprite and java ferns. Any DIY recipes? Something I can buy at the fish store? Copper? Thanks so much! I am determined to keep this planted tank snail free, LOL! Best, Fishes |

Best, Fishes Just make sure your new tank has some loaches in it . I've never known a snail to survive a hungry loach exept perhaps apple/mistery snails, they're to big for most loaches Good luck Art |

to survive a hungry loach exept perhaps apple/mistery snails, they're to big for most loaches No, they aren't. Even a baby loach can kill a full-grown apple snail. It may take them awhile, but they can do it. They just harass them to death. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
