Aquatic Snail Treatment Advice Needed

[bigward]

I recently went to an auction and got a lovely piece of bogwood with some ferns attached only problem is that I have now got a massive snail infestation (never had snails before).

Has anyone used eSHa Gastropex or any other treatments on their tanks with their fish in ?

Is it catfish safe ???

I have 2 L200's, 1 LDA33, 8 Sterbai's, 2 Tatia Perugiae (looking for more), neons, molly's etc.

Cheers

p.s. I don't want any loaches

Check out the stuff I used - however, I didn't have any fish in the tank at the time, and the plants took a big hit (although some recovered, and the Java fern was unaffected)
This stuff solved my snail problems. Do you know what type of snails they are?

Hi Ryan ......... yes I did read your article (twice and very good it was) but like you said you did'nt have any fish in the tank.

The snails are whiteish in colour, cone shaped and the largest I have found was approximately 6mm long.

cheers

p.s. moderators - sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place, move is required
