maligne Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I set my niece up a tank at Christmas and it's been doing great. I purchased an anubius plant for it and the other day I went to do my weekly maintenance on the tank. I noticed these little brown snails all over the tank. It's a fluval flex with a rear filter compartment and the filter compartment was full of them too. I must have pulled put 30 of them. I don't want them in the tank.. they are invasive. I have some " no planeria" I purchased for a hydra problem I solved with out medicating. It's supposed to be lethal to snails. Has any one had any experience with the " no planeria" product. I have 4 corydoras and three guppies in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 If you decide to kill them with "no planaria" be ready for a bunch of WCs, their corpses will start to decompose and could cause an ammonia spike. The slow way to reduce their number is to reduce the amount of food added - their population grows to the amount of food available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
