You could, though I don't know how much copper affects plants, or even whether the penny trick would work. A proven trick is this: Place a piece of lettuce in your tank. Wait about an hour or so, to allow the snails to find and start to consume the lettuce. Remove the lettuce, along with the helpless snails. Repeat this process as needed, to eliminate snails from your tank. They just can't resist lettuce, so they keep falling for the same trick, over and over. Keep in mind though, the aforementioned trick does not take care of snail eggs. You will have to remove those through some other means.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
