How do you get the snails out of the JBL trap? Or are you just supposed to throw the whole thing away?

Can’t argue with those results! I’ll be honest just looking at them I assumed the bottle was going to win it but I was proved wrong. That’s why these tests are great. Unless JBL have paid you off! And you spent all night forcing snails into that trap 🤣🤣

I thought the JBL one was going to be last - and mine best. Couldn't have called it more wrong!

Liked video! Try your way. 2 changes 1- put a saucer down first. A bigger terra cotta watering bottom would work. 2 - set the pot upside down with wafers inside on the bottom watering saucer. The hole would be the only way in and out. No fish getting a free meal.

I ordered an assassin snail just one. I don't want a problem with them too. I have guppy fish and I've read they won't bother them? I sure hope not.

I made a snail trap cutting down a plastic bottle and making a small bottle, gluing one side together with my hot glue gun. Then I took my wood burning tool and make lots of holes (entrances) on the sides all around. I glued a screw on the inside bottom to put the cucumber piece on and would add weight to it. I tied a string on the lid so I could haul it out of the water when mission accomplished. I put it in the tank overnight and in the morning hauled out a sizable amount of snails.

No wonder my snail trap didn't work. I assumed they would all stay in the bottle eating all night long and I could just pull them all out. Apparently they eat a little bit and leave?
@BRAAM007007 Жыл бұрын
When you have so many snails, just suck them out with an air tube!!! You could have gotten all of those hundreds of snails out more easily in a couple of minutes... Though it might be messier if your top substrate is sand (mine is fine gravel)

I watched your video before buying the JBL snail trap and was dubious however I am so impressed and happy with this product. I have so many unwanted pest snails and this was my first attempt at using it and I can’t believe the results. Consequently I have ordered a 2nd one for my other aquarium. I feel that I can see a way forward with a situation that was beating me. Thank you for your comparisons. This really works

@ChrisSmith-vv6id4 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure this was a fair test. With all three in at once the snails are probably attracted to whichever one they can smell easiest. I.e. Your pot first then the jbl then your water bottle. No flow in the bottle so most probably didn't know it was there? Maybe a fairer test would be to do each one for 24 hours on its own? Just a thought. Nice video though and shows the job works.

Also, you can just use jars of any size, no lid...glass jars stay down well...and as a bonus, if you need to transfer fish, use jars...put a frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp or wafer in...while they're busy eating, put your fingers over the opening and pick the jar up. Happy fish keeping!

You can adjust the gates to keep smaller fish out - but there is a risk they could still get in. As long as you check fairly regularly it shouldn't be a problem though, you can just release the fish and remove the snails!

Question: How on earth do you grow one billion snails? I worked hard to establish a good (I believed) snail colony in my tank. I think I've got maybe a handful. I've never seen more than 3 or 4 at a time. Do you feed them special snail food extra from the lot you feed your fish?

Hello to you, after much research on you tube i watched this great video on catching snails but my problem is more what to do with them for i truly cannot kill them. I bought to rams horn snails on the grounds that the seller told me they cannot accumulate unless they are in salt water yet i do not have a salt water tank and only a few fish, Tetra and guppies and after 2 months i must now have over a hundred of them Grr!.. my tank is small too so please can you tell me how i can get rid of them without killing them? Thank you so much :)
