How do i get rid of snails?

[david w]

So, i want to get live plants for my 20 gallon newt tank, but the people at the pet store said they cant garuntee any plants to not have snails.

last time i tried this, i had a massive snail out break.

i dont plan to have any snail eating fish in this 20 gal, so id like to "cleanse" the plants before they go in

Buy some assassins snails they do wonders for my tank. They will kill the other snails

Put a slice of cucumber at the bottom of the tank and leave it be overnight. Snails will gather on it, and just remove it. It doesn't polute the water, no chemicals and works great.

I agree with this, however it is important to monitor the plants after the snail removal because there could still be eggs left on the plants and some very tiny snails hiding in there. Other than that, it should work great :happy:
