Even though I have been very carefull with adding new plants (I inspect them and rub the leaves and give them a salty water treatment) I have some ramshorn snails in my tank.
One time I do not get Tropica plants and I have an issue
I spotted a few a month ago and took them out but there has been a baby-boom this week it seems....
The tank is algae free and only contains a shoal of neons for now (that I am very carefull off not to overfeed).
I would like to get rid of them but the question is how, since this tank should become a CRS tank soon...
I would rather avoid "snail-icide" since one that could end up in local streams and posible affect wildlife and two I assume these products will make future shrimps impossible.
I doubt adding some algae eaters (the plan was to wait until I find some zebra otos) would be enough competition for food to make them starve?
Any snail eaters like clown loaches could be an option but they would need to be rehomed afterwards (it's only a fluval 46l)
Any advise getting rid of them would be appreciated
