I wouldnt mind having more snails, but is having snail eggs bad for the fish or tank? Because i am always hearing you have to wash out your plants so you can get the eggs of snails out, and that it isnt good. What is wrong with snail egg's? IP: Logged

The old addage of "multiplying like rabbits" should have actually been "multiplying like snails", rabbits don't even come close. IP: Logged

If you have additional snails u don't want, see if your pet shop will take some , or consider getting some clown loaches as they find the young baby snails an "additional" food source. IP: Logged
