Fish Problems In 100 Gal

[riverpirate]

well recently got into some troubles in my tank. A while back I got some assassin snails to deal with my ramshorn snail problem. Now I have a ton of them. I see hundreds of little assassins all over my tank. I heard they didnt breed as crazy but, I am running flourite and they seem to like dwelling in there.

The problem lies in the fact that I have some apistos in there that I would like to breed. I am concerned that the snails will go for the eggs. I would add loaches, but have had real bad luck with them, and the fact that they would go for the eggs as well.

So I think my real option is to get some pea puffers to keep these little guys under control.

Does anyone know of a good source for pea puffers ? and how many would be recomended for control in my tanks? I also am battling the same issue in my 30 gal, and my friend next door is fighting ramshorns.(giving him some assassins).

Thanks guys

I would happily take a handful, but Red Deer is a little far to drive for me on my own. You could mail me some if you want

No idea about the pea puffers. Have no experience with them. Only good source to get them that I can think of is Aquarium Central...I think they have puffers...or I could be imagining things. I honestly can't remember.

This will take care of itself. After the initial population exsplosion; they (assasins) will level off/dwindle.

Well, stopped by petland today and I lucked out. they had recently gotten in a bunch. Ended up buying six for the 100g and 2 for the 30g . Right away they went to town munching lil baby snais.

Really got to set up a quarntine tank in a hurry. Just got to convince the woman to let me have one more little tank
