    Re: snails

    Snails love vegetable such as lettuce, cucumber and cabbage. As such, pieces of these vegetables can be used to bait the snails and keep their numbers down. During the night, place a piece of vegetable in a saucer and place it at the bottom of the aquarium. Keep the lights off, and when you wake up in the morning, you will probably find a good number of snails in the saucer, ready to be removed from the aquarium.

    Like the manual removal method, this one will not wipe out all the snails, but it could be effective in keeping their population down.

    (taken from another site)

    Look into these "snail traps" as they seem like they work.

    Re: snails

    You can move them with the method I posted.... just put them in another tank instead of letting them loose or throwing them out.
