Review: Best $15 I've ever spent! - So bear with me for story time, if you will. Somehow a single snail (one) got into one of my aquariums, I assume by hitching a ride via a snail free plant. Despite the fact I've been around aquariums my entire life, having three aquariums set up currently (35g, 75g,and 90g), ignoring that I know it only takes ONE snail to ruin everything so I Should Not Do This, I very foolishly plopped it in my 35g aquarium. Human hubris, I'll admit that. Now, depending on fish stock and tank size a very simple solution is to get a minimum of five+ Corydoras (they shoal my friends, happy cory are helpful cory) and kiss your snail problems goodbye. Seriously, the ground zero tank had that single snail for several months (I couldn't move fast enough to catch it) and thanks to the diligence of thirteen corydoras there are zero snails in that tank. No snail sightings, no sign of eggs, no moments of did the gravel move or am I losing it, nothing. Now moving on to the 35g. In a single month I that lone snail has created a massive infestation. There are eggs everywhere, snails of various sizes on absolutely everything, and A Very Upset About The Driftwood Eggs Bristlenose, it's awful. There are very few solutions to this contamination: copper (I don't feel inclined to medicate a tank of small fish in a feeble hope it kills the snails), remove the fish and boil everything (I'll never be able to catch them again in my larger tanks), snail traps (nothing suggests they actually work), or... Enter this purchase, which I like to call The Snail Squeegee. I have never bought something that is so deeply satisfying to use, to the point where I actually get a little excited when I see snails pop up on the glass. This product is very easy to use, doesn't seem to concern the fish whatsoever (my Dwarf Gourami likes to assist me by following my hand, he's offering me moral support), and seeing the snails pop off is delightful. I'm giving this five stars because I'm at a breaking point and this product very effectively makes Snails Go Away Right Now, but my only complaint is I have no idea how I'm supposed to properly get the snails out of the clear bit? Waving it around in the middle of the yard works, or a steady stream of water, so this isn't a deal breaker for me but maybe something should pop off for easy dumping? Unclear. I would also like it if the clear chamber part was a bit longer to hold more snails. After a certain point if I tilt to get one at an odd angle I have had an escapee a couple of times, but ultimately it's not a deal breaker for me. Now, that said, as therapeutic as this product is, it won't solve a longterm snail problem unless there's something to stop it at the source. Thankfully I have a team of pygmy corydoras who've been working overtime on egg consumption and I just might hire on some new recruits. Words of advice: If anyone has a snail infestation in a community tank, get yourself a very handy snail squeegee and five+ corydoras and you'll be golden. Or depending on your fish stock (ex: larger and/or aggressive cichlids who will just eat corys) just skip meals for a couple of days and they'll turn on the snails. A good gravel cleaner should also help with cleaning out eggs. TL;DR this is a fabulously satisfying product that solves part of a problem and the only thing that'd make it better is a bigger chamber for scooping up snails.
Review: Best snail catching gadget so far - I've tried lots of snail catching gadgets, mostly of the bait attracting type, and by far, this is the best for manually removing small invasive snails from your tank walls. The head of the device pivots so you can get to the snails at odd angles. The handle does extend to abut 1 foot. The clear catching bucket below can be pivoted to open for easy dumping out of the caught snails. To use, gently press the device under the snails on the wall, then gently slide upwards to make the white wheel roll and it catches the snails and dumps them in the clear catcher section below. It works very well and easy to use. It doesn't catch snails on plants on on the substrate. It's a bit pricey at $26, but it's well made from Japan, so hopefully will last a while. Overall a good buy and I highly recommend it and would repurchase if necessary.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work to scoop up the snails from the surface of the sand on the bottom of the tank?**
A: It’s a lot of work. A small aquarium you may be able to keep up. My 125 no way. If you have large fish get a comet goldfish, it will eat most snails over nite. Smaller fish get Pea puffers. Takes all the snails out.

**Q: Does this work on very tiny baby bladder snails?**
A: Yes! It worked perfectly on the tiny baby Malaysian trumpet snails I had so I’m sure it would work on them to. It really only works for the ones on the glass though.

**Q: Does it harm the snails? I don’t wanna kill them, just relocate**
A: No, not if you’re careful. If you scrape hard, you may squish a tiny snail, but the larger ones just drop in.

**Q: Does this work on removing limpets from the glass?**
A: I only used this on the pesty small pond snails.  They are easy to remove. This catcher also can catch baby guppies, accidentally .  This is mainly used to clean snails off the glass.  Limpets are mostly attached to rocks so they will be hard to get rid of.  Take your chances.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good for snail removal off glass
*by M***N on February 21, 2023*

This has worked really well to remove the majority of snails from my fish tank. Easy to clean and operate. Of course it’s only meant to remove snails from the glass, not the other objects in the tank so it does become a daily task for quite a while. Due to the bulkiness of, the catch compartment, you are unable to get close to the substrate line, which can leave some snails until they move further up the glass (maybe I am using it wrong? The catch compartment is movable). I would absolutely recommend this to anyone dealing with a pesky snail infestation.
