That's the best way I can get to get rid of my pond snails. Anything that would work well in a 14 gallon tank, with 2 mollies, and 3 platy fry, the fry are in a breeding net, and my mollies are all about 3" long so what would be a good fish to put in, also I have 2 shrimp, aftermuch reseach I have discovered that they are ghost shrimp. Can anyone help me?

loaches do an ok job eating snails. Dwarf puffers are another way to go. But my favorite is getting in there and squishing them. The fish eat them so its free food :-D

a dwarf puffer is too agressive, and needs a tank to itself. i think loaches are known for loving snails, but i would wait till somebody else posts. also, i dont think many kinds can fit in ur 14 gal.

until then. only feed enough that ur fish can get. dont let a single flake hit the gravel, and no sinking food (wafers). the less food for snails, the smaller amount that can thirve

good luck

There are about 5 snails left, and I can't squish them for two reasons: One it's gross, and Two their shells are to hard.

try using cucumber to atract them and then dastroy them

Ok, we'll try that, we tried lettuce before, but it floated and the snails didn't notice it.

if you blanch it or wiegh it down it will stay down long enough
