Snails in Aquarium tanks
There has been lots of information put out there about aquatic snail, some of which is total cods-wallop so I thought I would try and give a bit of information that is true so you now know the trust. Snails in Aquarium tanks are inevitable, and it's the way it goes when you keep aquarium plants.
Snails are a part of nature and will be found almost everywhere on earth. Although we try and be snail free with our aquarium plants as we keep them hydroponically (so the leaves outside of the water), being 100% snail free is impossible (unless you go for Tissue culture pots which you can find here ). Tissue culture plants are grown in a laboratory and as a result there are no bugs or snails anywhere! That is the only way to have 100% free snail tank. tissue culture aquarium plant[/caption]
If you do find that you have snails in your tank, you don't need to worry about removing everything and decontaminating each plant. There is a simple answer. Stop putting so much food in your tank. You see Snails in Aquarium tanks are normal, so don't stress! Snails live on the extra food laying around at the bottom of the tank. If you feed your fish slightly less than what they need then they will eat everything from from the bottom of the tank and the snails will go hungry and die - it's really as simple as that.
Anyone who ever moans about having lots of snails, means they are massively over feeding their tank and putting their water quality at risk. I've had Snails in Aquarium tanks many times before and a small tweak of the food and they disappear. No gadgets, no tricks.
