<shrug> I don't know. The water should be fine because I had corys, BN plecs and discus breeding in there. I suspect rummynoses too, because I occasionally saw one that looked too small, but I was never able to count them properly.

Tiny spots were visible which I assume were eggs (or larva), Anyway I just wiped off the jelly as I found them and the snails were under control very quickly. I would examine your tank and see if you can find anything similar. It's much easier than adding more creatures that you don't really want.
I have yet to see an omnivorous or carnivorous fish refuse to eat fresh crushed pond snail, Even my Betta who is a fussy eater loves fresh snail, With a Betta 9 Kuhli Loaches 6 Corys and some number of shrimp 2 or 3 crushed pond snails don't go far.
I don't actually mind the snails too much but I don't want hundreds of them. None of my fish eat snails, as far as I know.
Assasin snails are known to kill and eat shrimplets.NickAu said:Snail populations only explode when they have food to do so.
