Question
i have two snails and they layed many eggs like 50-100, so i wanted to know what should i do because i tooked them out of the aquarium and put them in an plain space.

Answer
Hey Daniel,

Snails are a bit of a pest from time to time, they tend to have massive reproductions like that. If you don't want to keep the babies, you can give them away, or get a loach. Clown loaches in particular are cheap and common fish that looooove to eat snails. Your adult, large snails should be safe from the relentless loach, because he cant eat anything that big. But the babies better watch out! Loaches will eat up snails in a hurry! Otherwise, if you don't mind having hundreds of snails, then just don't worry.
