Matthew Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 G'day I found an article that said Assassin Snails (Antentome Helena) are a great way to remove other snails from tanks. Are they in Australia and if so where can they be bought from? Thanks Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod54 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I hope not! If I knew.....I wouldn't tell you..... Best solution is a snail trap.....as suggested in the article.... ps....I'll bet there is an Australian snail somewhere out there that will do the job.....but it just hasn't been found yet!!!

I recently had a snail infestation. Buggers got into everything. Stripped the tank, removed filter and got a new one, threw out ornaments, used KMnO4 (condies crystals) on everything I was keeping to get rid (kill) them. Apparently clown loaches will kill snails - depends on the type of tank you're going for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
