ya, I think it was him that posted that...

But, I myself am wondering how you would do it, in order to avoid it ever happening to me (well, I have had it before, and redid the whole tank when it happened, so I would like to prevent it from hapening again), or, if I find a fish, that needs/should have them in thier diet, so I can culure my own food.
 
Failure to QT new plants and snails, specifically, pond raised ones.
 
I thought you were asking so you could raise them to feed your fishies.

Like rbishop said, let them hitchhike in on plants and snails. Then overfeed, so they have lots of leftover food or fish poop to eat, I guess.
 
Take a stone from any common stream, don't boil it, and drop it into your tank. Wait 24 hours. Voila, you're done!

Don't ask how I know.

:mad2:

hmmmm.... maybe it would be a good idea to make some in my tank... my fish would get supplementation and they'd clean the tank, but i'd need to stop it from reaching plague proportions.
