Hi!
For a few weeks now im trying to get rid of the snails that got into my tank when i bought new plants. I've tried snail traps, didnt work (bastards are to smart for these traps). I have good experience with assasin snails in my previous tank but since im trying to grow a carpet i dont want them now since they burry themselfs in the substrate and messing up the HC.
Since i have no other livestock in my tank other then then snails and some hydra, I went for the chemical solution, Esha Gastropex.
Now maybe my snails and hydra originate from Chernobyl because i have tried this stuff 3 times now (1 time = adding a dose during 3 days) but the snails dont die. The only difference i see is that they are going to the watersurface line (thats when i kill em with my fingers) But arent they supposed to die?
Does this stuff actually work? Im doing exactly what it says on the package, after that i tried overdosing it but with same results. 1 thing that maybe could be it is that i do a WC after the 3 days of dosing. Maybe i should do a WC after a week (the package doesnt say anything about that other then now WC needed :S)?
i couldnt find much about this stuff but ended up finding reviews on Amazon were people are 50/50 about the results.
If you have any suggestions please let me know, thanks!
