I have two tanks: one for the adults to mate in while my smaller one is for the preagnant females and fry to be safe...I now see snails multiplying like crazy as I had put some live plants in. I have clown loaches in my bigger tank for that issue but i think they would eat the fry.
Would snail poison work?
thanks

I think the loaches should be safe with the fry, but i'm not sure

I can't comment about the poison, sorry

I hope i can use the loaches in there! My tank is looking kinda crawly

I would put the CL in the fry tank & it will do wonders. Hopefully all the Snails will be eaten in a few days.

I had a pretty bad snail infestation in my 25 gallon tetra tank and I got 2 loaches and it took them a little over a week to get most of the snails out. now I see one occasionally, but they are usually very tiny so I know they are doign the job well!
I don't see any reason they wouldn't do well in the fry tank as long as they have plenty of hiding spaces. They get scared a lot, especially in the beginning. I didn't see mine really until yesterday. They have found a nice little home in the bottom of my tank ornament. It is quite interesting to see them "living" in my castle. lol

thanks guys i will do that!

I had a small snail problem in my Betta Tank and one small CL fixed it very quickly.
