Answer 2

Snail Away will kill snails and their eggs, BUT it will also kill plants.  I tested copper sulfate's toxicity on plants and it effectively killed even slow growing (and slow absorbing) species within about a week.

Answer 3

Snails are benificial in aquariums. They do eat some plants, and keep algae down. I know I like snails in my aquarium, my Oscar likes them too, if he can he'll eat them in a heartbeat if he can get them out of the shell!! As for your question...read the indstruction lable on the bottle, it should tell you if you should separate the plant in a separate tank while using this product, make sure it won't affect your buddies in your tank.

Answer 4

Answer 5
