I've got an outbreak of snails in my shrimp tank.
Of course they all eat the same food so if I cut back on what little feeding I do, I'm afraid the shrimp will suffer.
It's a 10 gl tank and it must be getting close to 100 shrimp in there so I don't want to cut the food right off.
I'm thinking about taking all the shrimp and floating plants out and bleaching the gravel. I know, I know, I'll make sure there is no residual bleach left.
Is there a way to kill any snail eggs that might be on the plants without killing the plant?
I'm also thinking maybe I'll change the gravel bottom for polished rocks about 2 inches across.
Any ideas?
