Somehow a single snail (one) got into one of my aquariums, I assume by hitching a ride via a snail free plant. Despite the fact I've been around aquariums my entire life, having three aquariums set up currently (35g, 75g,and 90g), ignoring that I know it only takes ONE snail to ruin everything so I Should Not Do This, I very foolishly plopped it in my 35g aquarium. Human hubris, I'll admit that. Now, depending on fish stock and tank size a very simple solution is to get a minimum of five+ Corydoras (they shoal my friends, happy cory are helpful cory) and kiss your snail problems goodbye. Seriously, the ground zero tank had that single snail for several months (I couldn't move fast enough to catch it) and thanks to the diligence of thirteen corydoras there are zero snails in that tank. No snail sightings, no sign of eggs, no moments of did the gravel move or am I losing it, nothing. Now moving on to the 35g. In a single month I that lone snail has created a massive infestation. There are eggs everywhere, snails of various sizes on absolutely everything, and A Very Upset About The Driftwood Eggs Bristlenose, it's awful. There are very few solutions to this contamination: copper (I don't feel inclined to medicate a tank of small fish in a feeble hope it kills the snails), remove the fish and boil everything (I'll never be able to catch them again in my larger tanks), snail traps (nothing suggests they actually work), or... Enter this purchase, which I like to call The Snail Squeegee. I have never bought something that is so deeply satisfying to use, to the point where I actually get a little excited when I see snails pop up on the glass. This product is very easy to use, doesn't seem to concern the fish whatsoever (my Dwarf Gourami likes to assist me by following my hand, he's offering me moral support), and seeing the snails pop off is delightful. I'm giving this five stars because I'm at a breaking point and this product very effectively makes Snails Go Away Right Now, but my only complaint is I have no idea how I'm supposed to properly get the snails out of the clear bit? Waving it around in the middle of the yard works, or a steady stream of water, so this isn't a deal breaker for me but maybe something should pop off for easy dumping? Unclear. I would also like it if the clear chamber part was a bit longer to hold more snails. After a certain point if I tilt to get one at an odd angle I have had an escapee a couple of times, but ultimately it's not a deal breaker for me. Now, that said, as therapeutic as this product is, it won't solve a longterm snail problem unless there's something to stop it at the source. Thankfully I have a team of pygmy corydoras who've been working overtime on egg consumption and I just might hire on some new recruits. Words of advice: If anyone has a snail infestation in a community tank, get yourself a very handy snail squeegee and five+ corydoras and you'll be golden. Or depending on your fish stock (ex: larger and/or aggressive cichlids who will just eat corys) just skip meals for a couple of days and they'll turn on the snails. A good gravel cleaner should also help with cleaning out eggs. TL;DR this is a fabulously satisfying product that solves part of a problem and the only thing that'd make it better is a bigger chamber for scooping up snails. Review: Snail removal tool. - This snail catcher is pretty cool for a plastic device. I have been using it to remove snails from five different aquariums. Three are new setups without fish at present, and two established with fish. The established aquariums had a lot of small snails, but as I removed them, I am seeing less and less. The new tanks got snails from snail free plants. As I was cycling the tanks, I removed the snails as soon as I saw them. It has been a week since I have seen a snail in the new tanks. This snail catcher was amazing in its simplicity of use, and I believe it helped me in cleaning my tanks of invasive snails. I highly recommend this product. ## Features - Easily removes unwanted snails from aquarium glass - Simply drag the snail catcher across the aquarium glass and guide the snails through the rollers and into the trap to remove unwanted snails - The extendable telescopic handle stops your hands from getting wet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00RBNPEIW | | Best Sellers Rank | #142,705 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #124 in Aquarium Water Pump Accessories | | Brand | Dennerle | | Brand Name | Dennerle | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,255 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04001615040395 | | Included Components | Snail Catcher | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3"L x 0.5"W x 3"H | | Item Type Name | Dennerle Snail Catcher | | Item Weight | 46 g | | Manufacturer | Dennerle | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4039 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 4039 | | Product Dimensions | 3"L x 0.5"W x 3"H | | Style | Functional | | Style Name | Functional | | Target Species | Snail | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dennerle - **Color:** Blue - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04001615040395 - **Item Weight:** 46 g - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 3"L x 0.5"W x 3"H - **Style:** Functional - **Target Species:** Snail - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Snail Catcher - for Aquariums, with Telescopic Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PGlqaXQaL.jpg) ![Snail Catcher - for Aquariums, with Telescopic Handle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31pxQ73R5kL.jpg) ![Snail Catcher - for Aquariums, with Telescopic Handle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JYkODaEZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it work to scoop up the snails from the surface of the sand on the bottom of the tank?** A: It’s a lot of work. A small aquarium you may be able to keep up. My 125 no way. If you have large fish get a comet goldfish, it will eat most snails over nite. Smaller fish get Pea puffers. Takes all the snails out. **Q: Does this work on very tiny baby bladder snails?** A: Yes! It worked perfectly on the tiny baby Malaysian trumpet snails I had so I’m sure it would work on them to. It really only works for the ones on the glass though. **Q: Does it harm the snails? I don’t wanna kill them, just relocate** A: No, not if you’re careful. If you scrape hard, you may squish a tiny snail, but the larger ones just drop in. **Q: Does this work on removing limpets from the glass?** A: I only used this on the pesty small pond snails. They are easy to remove. This catcher also can catch baby guppies, accidentally . This is mainly used to clean snails off the glass. Limpets are mostly attached to rocks so they will be hard to get rid of. Take your chances. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best $15 I've ever spent! *by A***A on October 3, 2022* So bear with me for story time, if you will.
