Getting rid of snails the natural way
JBL, the German aquarium company, offers “LimCollect”, a trap that eliminates the problem of snail plagues without the need for chemical agents or special fish. The trap is simply placed on the bottom of the aquarium and then removed the following day full of snails. “LimCollect” comes complete with a “Novo Fect” food tablet and is ready to use straight away. The new version has two entrances, doubling its effectiveness and halving the time required for use of the sturdy snail trap. And if a fish should find its way into the trap, the two entrances mean that the flow of water in the trap will ensure an adequate supply of oxygen until the fish is liberated by the aquarium owner.
