How to get rid of snails ?

I have botia sidthimunki (for those who don't know what kind of fish is this, try googling

), it does eat snails, tadpole snails, ramshorn snails, their eggs too, but it seems can't eat MTS.
Positive side, this is a mini fish, so if snails gone you don't need to feed them as much as puffers, also this fish don't do fin nipping.
Beautiful mini fish I like soooo much

i prefer to use manual removal unless no choice a predator snail would be better. adding chemical or fishes might affect your current tank fishes, shrimp or plants.

try this, Add clown loaches.. my tank has been snail free for the past 2 years ever since i got my clown loaches. and best of all, they make a beautiful addition to any tank
