I have a tank with an infestation of ramshorn snails. Is there any way to get rid of these? They breed like rabbits!

well:
some natural snail eaters are:
> clown loaches or other botias like Histrionica (we have both)
> puffers ( we have 2" golden puffers, freshwater, stay small, like each other but aggressive to small fish)
> practically any african cichlid
(Trets in particular... we have, and Chilo. Rhoadesii...we don't have)


Any chemical means?
You can use copper sulphate...
but watch out for ammonia a few hours later
because of all the dead snails
