Approx. 2 months ago I started off my aquarium with live plants, then a month later added 3 zebra dainios (hearty girls too!). I spotted the first snail not long after I got the fish, promptly scooped it out, and didn't think much of it. Then I saw a 2nd, and a 3rd, and a 4th and well...they're outta hand now. I called the freshwater aquarium store I frequent to ask advice, which ended up being a 2 parter. 1) get Yoyo or Clown loaches (which they didn't stock - nor did anyone else) or 2) snailicide the tank. I purchased a well stocked brand of snailicide and treated the tank. 4 days later, the snails are STILL being fruitful and multiplying, and to redose the tank, I'd have to do a 50% water change (29 gal tank), which is painful. Any ideas?
