RE: Snail problems

[David Trescak <aquapassion@sympatico.ca>]

I've found a solution that seems to work with my Apistos and Rams... I 
crush the snails I can reach, and both pairs of fish eat them out!!

In the past few days, I had noticed, especially the Rams, but also the 
Apistos, to hunt down the snails and munch on them... so I thought maybe 
they might like it if I helped them out!!!  Sure seems to work!!!
