Killing snails on planted driftwood

[goldfish freak]

Okay, but I have read that they reproduce very rapidly and in large numbers and can be quite a nusciance due to them getting into filters and other equipment and just by their sheer numbers.
Is this information incorrect?

Folks who moan about snail overpopulations suffer from overfeeding. Snails do no grow on water, they require food. I have snails in all my tanks but puffer tanks (for obvious reasons) and I have no overpopulation, nor have I ever had. I set tanks aside to grow more snails to feed puffers, and am amazed at how much I have to overfeed to get a heavy population.
