This is a great video! I used old medicine/pill bottles instead and drilled holes in them and they work great! With the number of snails I have in my tank, I may have to jump up to he size of the container in the video though! Thanks for passing this along!
Feed them to the garden birds
Great idea for a snail trap.
Thank you.
🐌 🐦
thank you!
Thank you 😊
why do the snails not crawl back out of the holes?
It’s not that they don’t crawl out but that you would check the trap and remove the tub with all the snails in there before they have a chance to crawl out.
I think it's because the diameter of the hole going into the trap, is wider than the hole coming out of it.
Plus they might be too interested in the bait 🤔
This is awesome. Im defs using this!!!
I added about 6 red ramshorn snails as i liked the colour while cycling my 55g, I also have 3 bumblebee Nerite snails, i know snails help with parts of the cleaning, but them 6 snails are now about 600,even though i have already gave my LFS a whole bunch for his Puffa, if i make this trap, are my 3 nerites likely to go in there too? they have just started to grow their spikes and i dont want them to get damaged? @Everyday Aquarist
Thank you bro!!!
How to make a DIY Snail Trap. Experiment with baits to see which is most effective!
So what's the best bait to use??
How many times can you use this type of container before it starts to deteriorate hun.
Hi, I've just come across this video. Can you pls tell me what bait you used inside the container.
Thanks for sharing btw!
Cucumber or similar
What is the grey fish with yellow fins at the end?
I had an infestation in my small 29 gallon tank. Bought 2 "feeder" fish from the pet store for .35 cents apiece. One was a comet and the other some type of bronze color gold fish. 3 days later... not a single snail in the tank. Once spring arrives the 2 feeder fish will be moved outside to my koi pond.
Does goldfish will really eat snails??
Then i might wanna buy some
@@rafaeldathird4385 I may be a year late but I put a shit ton of snails from my 20L planted into a 55 gallon with two goldfish and the goldfish demolished all of the snails within a matter of days. I still see one or two on the glass like once a week but it quickly gets eaten up
Any suggestions if i have an infestation in my fry (baby fish) tank? The fry can get through those holes. And the snails are getting big😥
Could you use a net to skim the fry off before getting rid of the snails?
my snail keeps on crawling on top what should I do
What are the blue and orange fish that you have?
Those are Bosmani Rainbow fish
Thank you. :D
I wanted to thank you for this video from someone who just doesn't want to hurt the snails. I needed to clean out this aquarium that I've been cultivating duckweed in, now I'm trying to get all of the snails and don't want any of them to die. I really appreciate this video as someone who adores their snails. ❤
Ugh. Thank you. I have noticed a booming population of snails. I got a rash from the parasites they carry. I've never had to use gloves in my inexperienced years of fish keeping because I've never encountered an issue with snails. I got a ton of plants from the fish store this time around when I always used to get them at petco where it states "snail free" on the packaging. This is what I get for not rinsing the plants before putting them in my tanks. Dumb lesson learned! -facepalm-
Rinsing and quarantining plants doesn't always work either.
Good one....
Or you can get a small amazonian or figure 8 puffer... Soon you will have to get another tank just to breed snails for them to eat.
thanks man if it works just as well as i think it should. hav saved me some dolla bills.
Wouldn't it be easier just to get loaches that would eat the snails?
Scolopendra Exotics what if your tank is full or isn't that big, sometimes people don't want to add more fish. I covered it in my related video czcams.com/video/OvatU8JG-r0/video.html
Okay but, where do I put the snails after they're removed from the tank...?
In the rubbish bin or burn them
They were put in a bleach and water mix
@@diagonaltea that works to. Just don't put them down the drain as you run the chance of causing an infestation
Not when they're dead lol don't worry I'm being thorough
@@diagonaltea sounds like it but also some of em are very hard to kill 😂 been dealing with an infestation for months. I tried bleach. I tried boiling water but they keep coming back
Great idea, would love to see its results in a badly infested tank :)
OZZYTHEOSCAR Ten minutes after putting this in my tank there was a snail in it. I will leave it in overnight and post a picture of my catch on my Facebook page tomorrow just for you.
Everyday Aquarist ha ha love it , thanks
Everyday Aquarist Its up now, link in description. Cucumber might have worked better I think!
Everyday Aquarist just took a look, lucky snails to be being put back ! 😀
small holes for small snails and large holes for large snails, right? like Einstein's cat doors?
I don't think it'll work well or at all. It's difficult for the snail to climb past the rim to reach the top. I did the opposite with the lid down. Many small ones got caught in the "gully" around the rim. I also made a half inch by 3 inch hole on the side. Then cut 3 plastic forks & glued them on. It worked but not great. I think yoyo loach or assassins are the way to go.
Where can I safely remove the snails to? A pond, a garden ? 😅 New tank and already got bloody a dozen of these bastards
Just throw them in a bin once they die from being on air for too long.
aka.... how to drown snails
Aquatic snails either have gills or keep an air bubble in their shell which doesn't run out quickly. Besides, the entire point is to purge them anyway. They're an infestation. What exactly do you think he's gonna do with them? It's a felony to release aquarium animals into the wild.
