Snails taking over!
We have a slight infestation with snails in our tropical tank...Are there any community fish etc which will help 'eradicate' this problem, and are commonly available?!
Thanks in advance, Tal

Dwarf puffers eat snails, but will depend on what else you have in the tank. My Angel fish got a taste for them and wiped them out.

Hi
Pop a chunk of cucumber in overnight, and then just lift it out in the morning  Should be covered in them.

We have tried the cucumber, but the algae eaters ate all of it
 Its a 4ft X 2 ft tank, at the moment its got tetras, mollys, plattys, plec and algae eaters in there... No idea on the type of snail - theyve got the 'pointed' shells if that makes sense? Im pretty sure they were stowaways with the live plants...
