    Why do you want to get rid of snails? They are a very important part of the cleanup crew. If you are dealing with pyramid snails its a whole different ball game. In that case, 6 lines will eat them.

    Agreed. There will only be as many as the enviroment allows. If there really is snails to a plague peopoetion, its a sign you are either overfeeding or have poor water quality (or both). ;)
