Snail


Hi, every morning, I would find at least 6-10 snails, how can I get rid of them?

It is a shrimp tank. Thx

Never had assassin's; but I have heard they will take over your tank. True or not? If so, could you get only one? Or will that one bread anyway as some snails do?

You could make a snail trap with a plastic bottle.
