Hi everyone,
Has anyone noticed that snails don't like Flurish Excel... at ALL?
It has kill off some of my MTS and Japanese trap door snails. The three briggs are ok but are not happy when I even put in the recommend amount in the tank (2 ml for 20 Gal)
It never affected the shrimp BTW.
Thanks,
TKD

When I did have BBA increased water changes and lowering the amount of light took care of it. Balancing the nitrates and phosphates is supposed to kill BBA for some reason, but so does going to 0/0.
I recently had some bad string algae that I accidentally found a cure for it and pond snails as well as planaria. I moved some infested plants into a killie tank that I was using 2 tsp/gallon sea salt. In under a week the hair algae was gone, and the snails stopped breeding and there is no sign of the planaria. That would kill brigs, so they would need to find another tank. The cherry shrimp and ghost shrimp in the tank seem fine, but the cherries don't seem to be breeding.
