Are these Ornamental Ramshorn snails you have?

If so, some aquatic stores will take them.

A slice of cucumber left in over night and then remove in the morning when covered in snails.
Snail traps work too
Manual removal when you see them
reduce feeding as they'll eat excess food

I have a Ramshorn invasion! I keep removing them but more and more keep coming. They seem to be hell bent on destroying my plants as well. Any idea how to remove them?

You'll be amazed how much there be in one pinch of Spirulina powder, so only mix a tiny amount in aquarium water before adding.

Welcome to the forum.
I've kept them and they had "Tetra baby" and spirulina powder, plus whatever they found in the tank. Mine lived for about 3.5 years, which apparently a bit longer than the average 2-3 years.

IIRC, their diet is algae based, so spirulina is actually a really good food for them. another option is crushed veg/spirulina based flake food.

Hi,
I have an atyopsis that I have had in my tank for a year and a bit. It is in a mature planted tank so I think it will get bits and pieces of food from the tank but I have also put in a scoop of Shrimp King Atyopsis most days.
My tub of the food has now almost run out and it looks like it is not made anymore as it isn't in stock anywhere.
Does anybody know of an alternative food designed for atyopsis? I have heard people use Spirulina powder but worry that this may not be a complete enough food. The shrimp king atyopsis seems to be mostly crushed shrimps from the label though so maybe so ..read more

At least 257 if they're anything like mine......
Anyway, how big is the bush...??
That's a bit personal. How big is your bush?
Thought we were counting snails, not crabs?!
