Maylaysian live bearing snails!

[dominic <apisto@planeteer.com>]

Does anyone know a way to get rid of Malaysian live bearing snails? I
have a 90 gal with sand substrate and a Fluval filter. I had a
persistent bacterial infection in the tank and decided to sterilize it.
So I added 1/2 gallon of bleach, which I thought would clear anything
out.

It didn't even bother the snails. 4 days after treatment they were back.

I am currently trying super dosing Aquarisol (copper based treatment).
Guess what?
The snails are still making tracks.

I'd really rather not get rid of the sand because it took a very long
time to clean it. I have been sifting it to ensure penetration of the
disinfectant.

I have been sieving them out, but it won't get rid of them properly, and
I'm worried they may be carrying the infection.

Help!
