Okay, so I have an overpopulation of ramshorn snails in my 10 gallon tank. I like the little buggers, but the two orignal snails have turned into many many baby snails. I know this is common problem. I also know that they are multiplying because of excess food and waste at the bottom of the tank.
I haven't been able to gravel vac the 10 gallong tank well since I introduced some red cherry shrimp. I am trying to let the shrimp breed and I am afraid that the vacuum will suck up the tiny nearly-invisible baby shrimp.
So... I was wondering if my Killifish would eat the snails if I dropped a few (of the snails) into my 29 gallon tank (see signature for tank populations). These Killi fish have been known to eat small tetras and entire wafers whole, but would they eat baby snails. I don't like the idea of just killing the snails. I would be happier if they were to become food for another fish.
Last choice will be putting in some cucumber and using it as bait to catch and dispose of the snails.
Thanks.
