    If you want to get rid of them, boil a piece of boiled cucumber or zucchini and place it in the tank, when they flock to it, yank them out. I don't mind snails, they do a great job cleaning my tanks, but if i had them on land, then they gotta go!

    I am in bit of bother with endless snails in my water tank. I have tried to used some pest control chemicals to kill them but effective results are not there. I will not try to use boiled cucumber and hope it works. Thanks for your suggestion and sorry to reply in this old thread.

    its quite alright, snails are a common problem. i actually wanted to update this and share my success with my assassin snail.

    i only bought 1 about 4 months ago and ive seen a significant drop in my snail population. it seems that the assassin snail not only feeds on other snails but he also eats the eggs; which is most important since they multiply quickly. i would recommend them to anyone

    the absolute best way to control snails is to feed less and keep the water clean and balanced, I.e. no algae
