So i have HUNDREDS of tiny (think <1mm) snails. The snails are almost compeletly clear, with a bit of white.

My setup:
75g Tank
Rock Bass
dozen Trap Door Pond snails, like these guys.

Planted tank (guess where they came from lol)
 
ehh some people do like snails. decent cleaning crew.

Salt Mixture
Puffers/yoyo loaches

my 2 recommendations.

oh yea throw a piece of lettuce in there turn the lights off take it out hours later.

watch feeding. (don't over do it)
 
Yep. Remove them with a romaine lettuce leaf and then give them to someone with loaches. :grinyes:
 
Building a trap works well. If you can get a plastic container with a lid or cap and put food in it, you can put a whole in the top and put a straw down it. Snails will make their way into the container and be trapped there.
 
What he said the plastic or glass jar with a small opening with food in side ie algae wafer of wilted lettuce.

the problem is once you have them you will not be able to completely get rid of them.

good luck
