I've tried assassin snails -- they can't get them all. I've manually removed them --they come back. I don't normally overfeed -- there are still enough to cause problems. I have been overfeeding a little in a tank with fry and the snails are thriving there! I made the mistake of adding a few to one tank a few years ago and somehow have them in 3 tanks now.
Other than emptying a tank and scrubbing it out, tossing the substrate and sterilizing the decor, is there any way to get rid of these things? I don't like killing them, but don't want them in my tanks.
