As some of you know, snails are a real pain especially the ones that keep spawning and soon populate your tank. That is what has happened to me and I think its time for them to kiss my tank goodbye. With that said, I'm planning to strip apart my tank and leave room only for my fry.
I want to first drain the water halfway, take out the fry (probably put them in cups or something not to small...then drain all the water out. I probably will save some of the water, cause I don't want to refill the tank and also disrupt the water conditions. I'll move the tank outside and take out all the gravel along with the snails. I should add I'm not putting any gravel back. I'm leaving the substrate bare. Afterwards, I'll move the tank back to my room, fill it with water and let it sit for a while. Then when things look right, I'll add my fry.
Is anything wrong with my plan?
