Re: [APD] Snails
I have used a pair of Yo-Yo Loaches (Botia almorhae) to successfully rid my
aquarium of ramshorn snails. It didnt take but a few days too.

> If they are small snails, you can put in a dwarf puffer or two. They love
snails. I have planted tanks & have knowingly introduced snails multiple
