So here's d problem,

My aquarium has been rolling for 2 weeks, have a black molly to cycle d tank,and planted some plants, its my 1st time with real plants. Underneath d gravel i have fertilizer, i feed d molly names nera, twice a day,she eats everything,and leave d light on for 8 hours minimum.

Yesterday i noted a tiny spot on a leaf that i tought it was moving, now today i just saw a snail, its around 2 mm big.And i've counted at least 4 of those tiny dots i saw yesterday.

What can i do ,pls help, i know snails reproduce a real lot.

it's best to rinse off new plants well before putting in your tank. I have a clown loach so I leave the snails on the plants on purpose so he can have a tasty snack. lol
some fish eat snails, perhaps get one.

I used a traping method once that worked.
Get several empty plastic bottles, like soda bottles. Rinse them out well then cut the tops off. Buy some romaine lettuce put a piece in one of the bottles then take the top you cut off and turn it around backwards shove it back into the bottle. Sink the bottle and let it stay in the tank overnight. By morning you should have several inside then just remove the bottle and throw it away. Do this every night until they are all gone. You may have to temporarily remove your plants for them to take the bait.
