Leeches in my tank. help!

Oh yea I forgot to ask did that fish store sell you the trap? or did they give it 2 you?

When you replace your gravel make them give you it free. Make them feel it was there error completly.

Secound I would be willing to bet that you pored the water in from the bags. Am I right? I don't see the fish digesting them and them still living. If you did you learned a hard lesson.

I would think the puffers would choose the snails before the leeches.

the leeches don't attach themselves to the snails or fish as far as i can see, but they are affixed strongly to the tank, so siphoning does not work at all.

I made the trap out of a shot glass, but i gave up on it after trying the meats on it and failing.

I don't really have any snails left in the tank, they've all been eaten. However, I think my new problem

might be caused from decaying snails i didn't take out right away.

O, and about removing them by hand- I'm not sure it would work. They are really tiny, so I would have trouble gripping them, and then they might attach themselves to me.

When I was cleaning the filter, i found one inside the filter, and I was only able to make him let go after pouring alot of salt directly on him. Although I'd like to make them all let go by adding salt to the tank, I think it would require a whole lot of salt.
