Snail overload!!! They eat all of my plants. How do I get rid of them without using chemicals.?

loaches and puffers eat snails. You can also stick some vegetable or a small bit of raw meat/fish in a bottle and set the bottle (open side up) in the tank. The snails will gather on the food and you can just pull out the jar and dump the snails somewhere else (keep doing this until there aren't any visible snails anymore--but it'll take a long time to completely eradicate your snails since you probably have snail egg masses in your tank already). You can sell those snails on Ebay or at Aquabid if you want to make some money on them.

You can buy some,Puffers which in your case with a snail problem you have.Puffers love snails and helps keep down their teeth so you don't have to trim them.The best ones depending how big your tank is and if you want to put about half the size of sea salt in the tank water and it won't hurt your plants because my tanks that have brackish water with half freshwater and half salt are doing fine too.But in most cases a just about every brackish water puffers ie freshwater puffers do fine in just normal freshwaters and they'll have a hay day with all those snails and eat them fine and should keep down your snail population well.Just remember if you want that snails to go away or down to a minmuim get Puffers or some cichlids that love snails do the trick.

They do for me and some Cichlids do too help it keep it down so its your take on what you do I am just trying to help

if you dont want to buy more fish to kill the snails try this:

take a small salt shaker thats to small for your fish to get into, put a piece of lettuce or cucumber in it and sink it to the bottom of the tank.

within a few hours many snails should be in it. simply do that regularly to limit the population.

If you don't kill them all, they will just keep breeding and you'll have so many snails. I would use the chemical and kill them all, then get a snail that doesn't reproduce, then you can just have one. They are called Apple snails. With Apple snails you need a male and female to have babies. I think all other types of aquarium snails are hermaphrodite's, so you only need one and you'll have a million babies, as they reproduce themselves.

i had a turtle in my tank it didnt eat every snail but the turtle kept the snails from breeding

lol, why don't you just put some salt in your tank
