Full Version: Plants & Snails

I went to buy some plants for my goldfish tank and found some swords, ferns, wisteria that I was interested in until I looked a little closer. All of the plants were covered in teeny tiny snails. I was not happy. Can somebody tell me either how to get rid of snails that are on the plants so I can put them in my tank or where to get them? Mail order or local (I'm in Katy, TX west of Houston). My husband was wondering if you can soak the plants in a salt solution to kill the snails but I'm worried that would kill the plants too.

Thanks,
Jennifer

you can buy paracite clear and put some in there it will kill the snals but not kill your plants. smile.gif

are you sure it kills the snails? i looked at the box and it kills parasites, but didnt mention snails

also, theres this one thing called had-a-snail thats used to kill snail. but reading the warnings and everything at the back of the package, i was scared of it.
