Re: [APD] Snails

Bob,
Thanks for the tip, I will try this with the Glyptophysa.

I did manage to kill all the ramshorns with the chlorothalonil.   I will try
low pH for the glyptophysa to see what happens.   If low pH works for the
tough species it will be a good management tool for snails.

Cheers
Dave
