Hi everyone, I need help reducing the population of mini-ramshorn snails in my 600L planted aquarium. I accidentally introduced them and they are having a great old time in my tank. They are the very small ones (1-2mm).
While I admit that they haven't actually done anything bad (they seem to keep everything pretty clean and don't eat the plants), they are becoming quite unsightly. I don't need to eradicate them and its probably not possible anyway, I just want to reduce the numbers.
I have three clown loaches in the tank and they aren't doing much (if anything), I think the snails are too small for them. I've used Kusuri Plus Wormer (flubendazole), which is supposed to kill them, but it did nothing. It also have rainbowfish that won't eat them, although they are juveniles I suppose. I'm not sure what else I can try that won't harm the fish or plants. Any ideas? Thanks!
