An old-time aquarist gave me advice on how to get rid of this types of snail: "Remove the gravel and throw it out. Sterilize the tank." He said they are impossible to get rid of. Eventually they will over-run the tank with many floating across the surface...yuck. Where I come from, no one wants trumpet snails in his/her tanks. --Randy ALEX PASTOR wrote: > I was figuratively patting myself on the back last week for my serendipitous > great good fortune in having somehow inadvertently introduced Malaysian > trumpet snails into one of my planted tanks.(That sentence reads like > something Lilith would have said to Frazier if she would have an aquarium) > ...
