Snails.. The Pain In The Backside Type

I have 1 assassin snail in my tank that ramshorns babies everywhere and I swear I have not seen a snail since I got him
 
i got told they breed very slowly over 7 month periods and even then its only a few babies which you can fish out if you want and sell
 
Clean a pop bottle and put some lettuce in it and the snails crawl in there and remove them.
 
I have 3 assassins in my tank they kill 1 other snail every day on average. They do take around 6-7 months to reach a mature enough size to come out of the substrate and start actively hunting other snails so they do breed very slowly. They are best used to control populations from exploding rather then actively clearing a tank of snails in a short time.
