·Today I discovered at least 100 small snails in my 265g's sump and overflow boxes.
What I can't figure out is where did they come from? They couldn't have come from plants because the last time I added plants was like 2 months ago and this is the first time I've ever seen them in any of my tanks. Could they have come from my tap water during water changes, or could they have come from any of my frozen shrimp, krill, plankton, daphnia, cyclops, or baby brine shrimp packages?
Also what's the best and safest way to kill them all? I have a new thing of Had-a-Snail laying around, but is that catfish and plant safe? Any other way besides loaches that will get rid of them?
One last thing I can't believe is that these snails seem to love fast currents...90% of them are in my sump which has a 1800gph pump and a 700gph pump, and the other 10% in my overflows are in a ~700gph current....!
