Bob

Since you're new here, could you introduce yourself?

 

Introductions

Sorry, I should have introduced myself. My name is Doug I work with Tim and Eric at AOA. I will be at the next meeting. Some may know me already

 

I need snails. Lets order
Earl

 

Yah, and I need to get rid of ramshorn, limpet, and trumpet snails without endangering my cherry shrimp. Anyone have the majic bullet?

 

Bait them and pull them out.

I was going to suggest that we collect all the money at the meeting. Could anyone not able to attend send it in? I need them myself right now (for the yet-to-stabilize 44), so I'll nail down the details and let everyone know the final cost.

 

excess snails

If you have excess snails a clown loach will eat them and shouldn't bother the cherry shrimp. Trumpet snails might be hard for them to eat because they have thicker shells.

Later,
Bill

 

Nah.... I've had clown loaches eat neon tetras, I can't believe they won't eat small shrimp. Any other opinions???? I could just do the finger trick. The eggs are what's really getting to me. I HATE removing them.

 

Try one of the smaller loaches such as the Batik. (Eric has them) They did in my trumpets right quick. They'll probably eat very small shrimp but I've seen no evidence of this. My tank is still full of cherrys.

Bob

 

Your tank is 135 gallons with a sump. I'd just put a cup with some bait in it in there every night and collect all the snails. I would not risk the loaches.

 

I was thinking of baiting. What about those yucky egg globs? And will the current residential snails create problems for the O. nerites?

 

Can we have all the money together by the meeting? Those not able to attend can make alternative arrangements.

Yes? I need a few now too. To whom should they be sent?
