Keep us updated on the Assassins as a mate has a carbon copy of your problem. To be honest, I would rather have had the snails than black beard fucking algae. That was a bastard to beat.


Quick update on this.... I think my assassins might be broken (or vegetarian), on the day they arrived I counted 11 unwanted snails.... 8 days later and I managed to count 15 small ones dotted around. The larger ones are still there too, and getting larger Rolling Eyes

I rarely see the assassins move, (unlike the others), if it wasn't for the fact they change positions I'd swear most of them were dead and it's the fish that move the shells around when I'm out Laughing

Another update on this....

I have a problem:

I cleaned out one of the filters a few minutes ago and this was the snails that washed out, (not to mention the several dozen eggs, if each jelly lump is a single snail or a couple of hundred if more than one).... and that's in 2 weeks

Time to go the chemical route

Clown loaches man, unless its a small tank?
EDIT, Just looked at op its plenty big, get a two or three in there and they will happily munch on the little pests.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 6 years, 91 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
