So, Snail infestation in my 20g. I have two dozen RCS, 5 are berried, happily expecting.

What can I safely use to kill these snails?

Assassin snails will eat RCS shrimp?..

C. Loaches will eat RCS?..

I really don't want to tear my tank apart. Will be checking filter for eggs. Can I safely squash eggs if I find them? We picked out 3-4 dozen snails. MTS and Ramshorn I think, possibly bladder/pond, who knows. Only visualize a few tiny ones now.

assassin snails will reproduce also, so you will have snails still. I would just feed them to your gold fish, but I don't think you have gold fish. I guess just take them out lol. take the eggs out and they will die.

Assassins don't self produce, male/females. (If I'm correct) plus I wouldnt mind a few of them.
