Leeches In My Snail Tank

Post by nick11380 »

I have leeches in my snail tank and their killing my snails. These are wild caught tylomelania snails so there must have been some leeches on the snails when I got them.

How do I kill or get rid of the leeches without harming the snails?

Can you get a picture of the leeches?

I have a benign species of leech in my tank with my shrimp, but they are only interested in the tubifex worms that are in the substrate.

Id like to see these dangerous leeches additionally identification may help removal strategies.
