You could get something that eats snails like an assassin snail or a loach or you can hand pick them out when you see them and destroy their eggs whenever you notice and hope that works.

No, I believe they can't breed in normal tank conditions.

assassin snails are much more controllable, and dont become pests.. theyll eat other snails and scavenge when they run out of prey.

Hey guys thanks for thelp on this matter... I bought 6 Assassin Snails 2 weeks ago and WOW! The work they have done already is unbelievable ... I'll have to think twice before I use the term snails pace... That tank was just infested with snails... Now I hardly see any... In a few more weeks Ill take 2 of them out and put in my other tanks... that are showing signs of snail issues

FYI when youre done using them theyll scavenge as well. so, you can still keep them for fun.

Yep! Thats the plan... they are a good looking snail too... Mine arent that big... Any ideahow big they get... I wouldnt mine them if they got bigger ...
