Too many snails in my aquarium!! help?

My best suggestion would be to get a small family of clown loaches. They LOVE the little snail guys and will rid your tank of them 100%. I know this because I have 4 Clown Loaches and I collect all the snails from another tank by putting out a piece of lettuce in the tank. A bunch of snails will hop on, then transfer the lettuce to the loach tank and they would be so happy to eat them all up. The loach however does not have a big enough mouth to eat your apple snails, so you can rest ured they will be safe. Clown loaches are specially equipped to deal with your snail problem. Using the lettuce might help if you wanna just get them out a dozen or so at a time, then release to local pond.
