I tried to buy snail-b-gone from the pet store, but they don't sell it anymore. The only way to naturally get rid of snails is to buy something that eats snails. Namely, the loach.
So, I ended up buying two types of loaches, the very popular clown loach and the yoyo loach. I bought them young so I will have them for a long time (hopefully.) Here are the pictures.
The one thing I've noticed about having loaches, is that, they are total spazzes. Maybe they are just young and energetic? I could tell you more about it, but let me SHOW you through the power of moving pictures!
So they are a fun fish to have in the tank. I think I already see a reduction in the number of snails crawling around the tank. Since the loaches are high energy I have made sure to put shrimp pellets in the tank for them to eat. Between regular fish food, shrimp pellets, and a multitude of snails, I think the loaches will start growing pretty fast. Maybe I will post another video of them in a year or so when they have some size on them?
