Hi Tednol

Please do not use any snail killing chemicals in your tank. It would be much better to remove them by hand.

If you use a preparation to kill them, you will still have to pick them out, one at a time, but they will be dead and rotting. If you do not get them out of the water very quickly they will pollute your aquarium.
