ok heres a different one for ya. and yes it is a tank, just a different kind.

but the other day i was cleaning out my tanks, well i seen about 6 shells floating, and thought they was empty because they looked like they was. and i dont know why, but i flushed them instead of garbageing them. and word is now ( i havent seen myself yet), but that there is snails roaming the toliet tank... so this falls again, anybody know anything that kills snails?

and no in this case clown loaches will NOT work. lol i know they wont last long here. and yes i am looking else where for help.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

just dump some salt down there, and scrub with the toilet brush, should kill any eggs and snails

I don't think that the Snail will still be in the toilet, if you've flushed it...........

You could try adding salt.

Choices - hit it with bleach or similar cleaning agent and let it sit for several hours. Add a copper based treatment and let it sit for several hours then try to clean to porcelain. Connect your Python to your sink and run hot water into the toilet until the snails break their grasp on the bowl then flush. Add a loach!
