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

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

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.
