Re: Removing snails. Why not remove all of your plants and fish from the tank, then put in a jar or saucer with some snail food in it, eg: algae wafer, and just wait.You would be better of collecting the snails at night as this is when they are most active. You should be able to eradicate all of your snails in 3 days. Mind you you would only need a few snails given thier reproductive abilities. Hope this helps. Andrew
