Question about Medication for Snails

[Jazzman]

Has anyone tried "Had a Snail"? It is suppose to get rid of the snails. Does this stuff really work?I wanted to get a clown loach but i didnt want it to nip at my Betta.

I have heard that snail killer works but it leaves dead snails in your tank and that will cause your ammonia to rise a lot. Clown loaches like to be kept in schools so you would need like 3 of them. That would work if your tank is a least 50g.

I only have a 10 gallon with...

male betta
2 corys
2 glowlites
1 african dwarf frog
1 pleco (new addition)

There is another post on the forum that suggests putting a piece of either zucchini or cucumber in the tank (but you should weight it down). The snails will start to eat it to the point it is covered in them. At this point, remove the vegetable and dispose of it. You can repeat this until the snails are gone.

i wouldnt bother with Clowns because they get so huge.

but yoyo loaches are supposed to eat slails also, as well as many species of gouramis. the yoyos and gouramis dont grow to massive sizes either!
